"Buffalo Wing" Fettucine, with a Blue Cheese Alfredo Sauce


YES!  It actually worked!

Once this idea was spawned, it had to be put into action.  We loved it!

Step 1: Make the noodles!

2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
1/3 cup (or so) Franks Red Hot
2 Cups Tipo 00 Flour.  Regular flour would do too.
2 eggs

Mix the Red Hot and the butter together, which is a basic Buffalo Wing Sauce.  For exact proportions, see the bottle of Franks.
Mound the flour onto your work surface (typical pasta making directions), and create a well.  Place the 2 eggs in and start to combine.  Here's where the tricky part came in.  Start adding some of the wing sauce.  I really don't know how much I used, but you don't want to go too far, as then the dough would get all sloppy.  If you've made homemade noodles before, it's easier as you know the texture that you're trying to obtain.



When mixed together, you should have a nice ball of dough resembling the following photo.  Cover this with plastic wrap, and let rest for about 1/2 hour.



For those truly in to detective work, you can look at the two photos and figure out how much sauce I used

I then ran this through my manual crank pasta maker and ended up with nice red "wing smelling" noodles!



On to the sauce!  Phase 2 of not knowing what to expect.  I am sure someone has made a blue cheese alfredo sauce before, but this was a first for me.

Again, I wish I measured how much blue cheese I used, but I think it was about 1/3 of this block.

However much grated Parmesan Cheese is shown here
1 Stick of glorious butter
1 cup of heavy cream
and a dash of ground pepper.  (No white pepper available in the house)
oh, and a small amount of a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce, once I realized it was too soupy)



I melted the butter in a medium sized saucepan, then added the rest of the ingredients in.  I let this go over low heat until (adding a bit more blue cheese to get the flavor right), until it was hot and all of the cheese was melted.  It was at this point that I added the cornstarch to thicken it up. 

I dropped the fettuccine noodles into a pot of boiling salted water, until done...and then SERVE and DEVOUR!!!

Wow, that was good.
