    FETTUCINE ALFREDO – P. 106 – Horrible! A big, bland soupy mess not worth repeating. Even the 2 egg yolks couldn’t save the excessive (2 cups) amount of light cream from itself. ½ cup of Parmesan isn’t enough to add flavour or texture to this insipid sauce. A complete waste of good ingredients.

    I recently purchased this book thinking it would be similar to our much-loved Carmine's Cookbook. Indeed the dishes are similar. That said, I do hope mr bc's experience with Fettuccine Alfredo isn't an indicator of what this book has to offer, if so, it'll be en route to the thrift shop in no time. The Fettuccine Alfredo was an epic fail. I'll definitely scrutinize future recipes before we try them. I'll be interested to hear if others have experiences with this book...good or bad.

Publishers Text

For more than 50 years, Patsy's Restaurant in New York City has treated celebrities and ordinary folk to comfort food Italian-style. Counting Al Pacino, Jackie Gleason, and Tony Bennett among its notable patrons, Patsy's was Frank Sintra's favorite spot in New York City, and Enrico Caruso was such a frequent visitor that there's a dish named in his honor.


In this book, chef Sal Scognamillo shares the secrets of his kitchen, spicing up the recipes with personal notes and memories, commentary from family members, and helpful cooking hints.


An indispensable collection of more than 100 recipes, Patsy's Cookbook includes everything from Tomato Bruschetta, Mussels Areganata, and Pasta e Fagiole to Eggplant Parmigiana, Fettucine Alfredo, and Veal Marsala. Cooks everywhere can re-create the tastes of this New York landmark right in their own homes.
