Expert Tips for Making Fettuccine Alfredo for side dishes for Chicken and Dumplings

  • When cooking pasta, add enough salt to the water to season the pasta.  The best sauce in the world cannot fix bland pasta.  Chefs will tell you that the cooking water should taste like the ocean, so don’t be shy.  If you’re not sure – taste the water!
  • Cook the pasta until just underdone and allow it to finish cooking in the sauce so it can absorb the flavors and marry with the sauce.
  • Save some pasta water -The pasta water is full of flavor and velvety starch that can be used to thin out the sauce.
  • Don’t use oil – Adding oil to the pasta water makes the sauce just slip off the pasta instead of coating it.
  • Use Cream with high-fat content as it thickens when cooked without using a roux or thickening agent.
  • Some Parmesan cheese is quite salty, so be sure to taste it before seasoning.
  • Don’t Have Parmesan Cheese? Use Cheeses with lots of flavors and melt easily into the sauce like Pecorino Romano, Asiago, or Grana Padano.
  • Serve imminently As the sauce cools, it thickens, and if left too long, the pasta will clump together.
  • Variations: Add steamed or roasted vegetables, cooked chicken, shrimp, or crispy bacon for a whole new dish.
