Is there a way to make fettucine alfredo without parmesan cheese?

Question

I had it in a restaraunt once, and I liked it, and then I went home and tried to make it, and I used parmesan cheese and I hated it- so is there a recipe without it?

Answer 1

Maybe you used too much Parmesan cheese? It can be overpowering.. Try using less of the cheese. I bet you'll love it!

Answer 2

Try this one:
Fettuccine Alfredo Vegetarian Recipe
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon oil
8 mushrooms, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup coconut milk
Vegan soy parmesan (optional)
Scant 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste

Directions:
Saute the mushrooms and the garlic in a pan over medium-low heat, until it looks creamy.

Separately bring the coconut milk to a boil over the lowest heat possible, and as soon as it starts boiling, add the parmesan (if using), nutmeg, and pepper, (lemon, if using - see note below) and remove from heat.

Mix all together.

Add the coconut sauce to the mushrooms/garlic and simmer on low heat until the sauce reduces. Make sure to stir it constantly or mixture will burn.

Stir until it comes to a consistency that looks like alfredo sauce, and serve immediately over fettuccine noodles.

Note: You can also add some lemon juice to the sauce, freshly squeezed is best, or garnish with lemon wedges

Answer 3

It depends on what kind of Alfredo sauce you had:

was it the original one made of butter thickened with Parmigiano cheese? In this case you don't have a choice, unless you decide to use a milder cheese that you like better.

Was it some kind of creamy white sauce with chicken or veggies in it? Here you can create as you like, with or without cheese:
just add some cooking heavy cream to any sauteed mix of diced veggies like shallot or green onion, carrot, celery, green peas. You can also use sliced mushrooms, baby spinach, broccoli florettes, zucchine, etc. and bites of chicken breast or shrimps. Get creative.

Use some olive oil to sautee the veggies which is healthy and add flavor, add the heavy cream at the end to bind together, use salt and pepper to season to taste, then toss in it your favorite pasta cooked "al dente" (which means just not overcooked), mix well and serve right away.

By the way, vegetarians and people on a super healthy diet can substitute diced firm tofu to chicken and seafood.

To all: buon appetito!

Answer 4

Alfredo is just cream and butter thickened with parmesan cheese. I suppose you could use another hard cheese (grana) to try to get the same thing. But, I don't understand how you can like alfredo and not like parmesan. It what gives alfredo all its flavor.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aULjE

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
