[FRISKY]

That is my favorite pasta restaurant. Did you try asking them for the recipe?

Are we talking campus corner victorias???
Once you get the recipe, you can practice on me if you want. =)

I love love love that place!

And their red sauce as well!! Lasagna rolls and cheese bread are the best.
Victoria's is really good!

That very same Victorias. I am going to make some at home tonight and experiment a bit to see if I can get close on my own...... results to follow.....

only two ingredients? i find that hard to believe. most alfredo is a bechemel flavored with parmesan.

okay, believe what you want. victoria's is a wonderful restaraunt but they are not whipping up reuxs or bechemels on the stove top. Besides, it's an open kitchen, you can go watch 'em. remember, keep it simple, people.

They whipped up the most amazing plate of food I have had all year for me last night. It was still as good as I remember even though it has been a long time since I have been there. mmmm.

Victoria's is one of my favorite Norman staples (right up there with Tarahumara and Pepe's.)

A friend of mine worked there years ago and my "recipes" (aka ingredient lists) reflect his insight. I could have changed it slightly.

Alfredo: cream, parmesan, romano, black pepper, crushed red pepper

Red sauce: tomato paste, stewed toms, tarragon, basil, crushed red pepper

I love the simplicity of the food there. FABULOUS!

The red sauce is sweet, or just seems that way to me. Do they use a certain brand of paste and stewed tomato? How do you build those lasagna rolls? Does Victoria's have the same owners? I had heard it was started by a couple students?? It is a really neat place.

I used to work there. Istilldontgetit has got it. Also, FOY0613 has the red sauce...but is off on the alfredo...
It's still the only alfredo I'll eat no one else gets it right.

Thanks DD

Finally gave the recipe for the Marinara Sauce a try. Almost taste identical to Victorias! I used too much basil so it was off just a bit but very similar.
