Fettuccine
Alfredo with Sea Scallops and Shrimp
“So, for
those special occasions when you want an impressive, delicious but oh so easy
dish to make I give you Fettuccine Alfredo.” Lisa
Ingredients:
1 pound
fettuccine noodles (cooked to al dente perfection)
1 cup heavy
cream
1 ½ - 2 cups
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons
dried parsley
Optional
Ingredients: pan seared sea scallops and cooked shrimp or cooked and sliced
chicken breast and steamed broccoli
Instructions:
In a small
sauce pan heat cream just until small bubbles appear at the edge of pan.
Do not boil;
we're looking for very warm cream that will be hot enough to melt butter and
cheese.
Add butter
and stir gently until melted.
Add grated
cheese. Note: I start with 1 ½ cups of cheese and test to see that my sauce is
still
thin and reserve the other ½ cup to sprinkle on top of the pasta and
sauce at the table.
Sometimes the
cheese makes the sauce a little gloopy as it cools so feel free to play with the
cheese amount or you could add a little more heated cream to thin if need
be.
Some people
even thin with some of the pasta water (reserved just for this).
I just save
some of the cheese to melt in at the table.
Drain the
cooked pasta and put it in serving dish; immediately pour the sauce onto the
pasta
and the rest of the cheese (add optional ingredients here).
Toss
everything together to combine and serve immediately.
Serves 4-6

HISTORY OF ALFREDO DI LELIO CREATOR OF FETTUCCINE ALL’ALFREDO
ReplyDeleteAlfredo di Lelio opened the restaurant Alfredo in Rome in 1914, after leaving his first restaurant run by his mother Angelina in Piazza Rosa. In this local spread the fame of fettuccine all'Alfredo. In 1943 Di Lelio gave the restaurant to others outside his family. In 1950 Alfredo Di Lelio reopened his restaurant in Piazza Augusto Imperatore n.30 "Il Vero Alfredo" (“Alfredo di Roma”), which is now managed by his nephews Alfredo and Ines, with the famous “gold cutlery” (fork and spoon gold) donated in 1927 by two well-known American actors Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. See also the site of “Il Vero Alfredo” (“Alfredo di Roma”) http://www.alfredo-roma.it/).
We must clarify that other restaurants "Alfredo" in Rome do not belong to the family tradition of "Il Vero Alfredo". We inform that the restaurant “Il Vero Alfredo” is in the Registry of “Historic Shops of Excellence” of Rome Capitale.
Regards Alfredo e Ines Di Lelio
