Who doesn't like Fettuccine Alfredo? Its so rich and creamy and absolutely delicious! Some of you may think it takes a long time to make it but that is not true. It takes only 20-25 minutes... if you make it the Roman way as I was instructed.
For this dish, you will need: heavy cream, sour cream/buttermilk, butter, onion, fettuccine noodles or even linguine; and the frugal secret ingredient chunk white tuna in vegetable oil. Yes, tuna and yes this dish was cooked for me in Rome.
To begin, chop onion and saute in butter and a drizzle of olive oil until browned on edges. Then add two cans of chunk white tuna in oil - do not drain. Stir and add 1/4 cup of sour cream or buttermilk and 1/2 cup of heavy cream more or less. Continue to stir adding fresh dried herbs: rosemary, mint and oregano and even some dill but not necessary.
Boil your pasta until tender, drain and ladle onto a serving platter. Pour the creamy rich sauce over the top and sprinkle with a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese. Its that simple.
