Fettuccine Alfredo

National Fettuccine Alfredo Day is observed annually on February 7th.

Who first made alfredo?

Alfredo di Lelio, an Italian restaurateur, created Fettuccine Alfredo in 1908.
After his wife had given birth to their first son that year, she did not have an appetite.
To help encourage her to eat, he created a dish of noodles, cheese and butter.
She liked the dish so much that she thought he should put it on the menu at his small restaurant in Rome.
Everyone around the world has been enjoying this dish ever since.
Today it is one of the most popular pasta dishes in America.
