Pasta Alfredo, also known as Fettuccine Alfredo, is a classic Italian dish that originated in Rome. It was created by Alfredo di Lelio in 1914 as a simple yet indulgent dish for his pregnant wife. The original recipe consisted of fettuccine pasta tossed with butter and Parmesan cheese, creating a rich and creamy sauce. The dish gained popularity when Hollywood stars visited Alfredo's restaurant, "Alfredo alla Scrofa," and brought the recipe back to the United States. Today, the best versions of Pasta Alfredo can be found in Rome, where chefs use high-quality ingredients like fresh pasta, butter, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese to create the perfect balance of flavors. It's important to use real butter and freshly grated Parmesan for an authentic taste. While the classic recipe remains popular, variations with added ingredients like cream, garlic, and protein are also enjoyed worldwide.
