Authentic Alfredo

Cultural Context

Originating from Rome, Fettuccine Alfredo was created in the early 20th century by Alfredo di Lelio as a simple yet rich dish to satisfy his pregnant wife. The dish celebrates the creamy texture and flavor of butter and cheese, making it a beloved comfort food. Today, variations abound, with many adding proteins like chicken or shrimp, but the classic version remains a staple in Italian cuisine.
