Chicken and Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

Cultural Context

Fettuccine Alfredo originated in Rome, created by Alfredo di Lelio in the early 20th century. Initially a simple dish of fettuccine, butter, and parmesan, it became popular in the United States after being introduced by Italian immigrants. The addition of chicken and shrimp is a modern twist that enhances the dish's richness and protein content, making it a favorite in Italian-American cuisine.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese
