Creamy Chicken Alfredo

Cultural Context

Originating from Rome, Fettuccine Alfredo was created in the early 20th century by Alfredo di Lelio, who sought to create a rich, creamy pasta dish for his pregnant wife. The dish quickly gained popularity and became a staple in Italian-American cuisine. Today, variations abound, with chicken often added for protein, making it a comforting favorite worldwide.
