How would I go about doing this. Just cup them up and throw them in or what? Does this sound like a good idea to you, tomatoes in alfredo?

If i do should it be in the beginning or end. Cold or warm.

That sounds very good. I would saute them at the beginning with some onion and garlic so that they soften up and blend into the sauce better. Hope it turns out well.

It sounds good to me. The only concern I'd have is whether the acid in the tomatoes would curdle the alfredo sauce. If it does, it might not look as good (it'd probably taste OK, though)

Why do you want to add tomatoes? If you want to serve a tomato dish with the alfredo, slice them, season with salt and pepper and serve them on the side!

I would also suggest removing the seeds and pulp before chopping them. Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the pulp and seeds with a spoon, then chop to whatever fineness you want. Also, I wouldn't add them until right before you're done cooking; they won't take long to heat up in the sauce and you don't want to risk their flavor getting overwhemed by overcooking.

yes that is a great idea i eat it that way all the time, dice the tomatoes up and throw them in cold after you have cooked everything else and are ready to serve it!

very good, if you wanted you could throw them whole in to boiling water, then an ice bath, score an X in each end and peel, then chop, but it is also very nice to have the tomatoes added at the end.

I wouldn't prefer it myself, but you could do it. I would halve cherry tomatoes and put them in at the last minute. Be sure and use parsley for color and maybe a little procuitto slivered on top.

sounds like it could add a nice tangy flavor. i would just put it in with the alfredo sauce.

it might be good...but you might want to remove the seeds, etc from the tomato flesh before adding them. Otherwise, I think it might thin your sauce too much!
