fettuccine-alfredo

The original fettuccine alfredo is known in Italy as fettuccine al burro… or buttered fettuccine. It was traditionally a dish served to settle one’s stomach or to quickly throw something together with ingredients everyone has on hand. The name “Fettuccine Alfredo” comes from the man who popularized the recipe in Rome by having the gall to put such a simple dish on a restaurant menu. He made up for its simplicity by tossing and mixing the pasta tableside in a spectacle that presidents, actors, and models have all traveled to see.
