I have:
-pasta (linguine)
-decent parmesan
-eggs
-cream
-butter
-oil
-average ham
-mushrooms
Tell me how to make a nice Alfredo, my sister makes it so well, but it's like 5am over in Gaynada.
This board hates Alfredo, they're a bunch of tomato whores

Boil your pasta
Saute the mushrooms with a few tablespoons of butter and oil
Add ham once the mushrooms are mostly cooked and let slightly brown
Add enough flour to the fat so that the texture is similar to wet sand
Now take cold cream and whisk it into the mixture
Bring to boil and lower heat until it is as thick as you want
Add some parmesean/salt/pepper TT
Mix in pasta
There ya go. Prob sprinkle extra parmesean on top
If you don't have flour, go buy some you need it

Just make carbonara, much as I hate Italian food arrogance, Alfredo doesn't exist.

Doesn't exist as a traditional recipe, or doesn't have a set "this is the recipe from which all other alfredo recipes derive" recipe? It most certainly exists.
And carbonara, as wonderful as it is when made properly, and even improperly, is most certainly not the creamy goodness that is [pasta] alfredo with [protein].

depends on how much fat/oil is left in the pan after cooking the ham and mushrooms. The sauce at its simplest doesn't require a roux, but when altered/made with particularly greasy ham or something like chicken thighs or duck, the cream will always float the oil unless it's bound to flour.

Cream, butter, parm, nutmeg.
>>7766574
Nutmeg? Fuck off. Garlic, black pepper, and oregano are all you need.
>>7766594
Lol no way senpai, try it and report back. You're ruining it with that whoregano.
>>7762816
OP didn't ask for a carbonara recipe!
>>7766092
Was just having a go. I have an Italian partner and they scoff at whenever someone suggests Alfredo, it pisses me off so much even though I don't even like Alfredo.
