Guys, I did a little reading up on the history of fettuccine alfredo, and it’s kinda a sweet story! An Italian chef, named Alfredo, made a simple pasta dish with white sauce and parmesan cheese for his pregnant wife who couldn’t keep much food down. She ate it so often that Alfredo added it to his restaurant menu. Two American actors visited the restaurant and ordered the pasta dish and loved it so much that they asked for the recipe and mailed Alfredo a special engraved silverware and a photo of them at the restaurant. Reporters documented the exchange and that sent many more people to Alfredo’s restaurant to try his famous dish! That's how it became such a popular recipe in America. That’s obviously the watered-down version, and you can read more about this fun fact at HuffPost.com. I think it’s fun (and important) to know some of the history behind the recipes we make and I hope you enjoy it too.
