Springer Mountain Chicken. House Alfredo. Fresh Fettuccine.
Chicken Alfredo is the most ordered pasta dish in America by a comfortable margin. The combination of grilled chicken, creamy parmesan sauce, and fettuccine has near-universal appeal: rich without being aggressive, familiar without being boring. At The Draft Room the Alfredo sauce is our house Alfredo Base -- butter, heavy cream, parmesan, and a restrained amount of garlic -- tossed with fettuccine and topped with sliced grilled chicken. Fresh parsley, cracked black pepper, and extra parmesan at the table.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining and add it to the Alfredo sauce as it tightens — the starchy pasta water emulsifies with the Parmesan and butter to prevent the sauce from clumping.
