History

The origins of this dish trace back to Rome, Italy, where Alfredo di Lelio first created the famous “Fettuccine Alfredo” in the early 1900s. His original version was a simple blend of pasta, butter, and Parmesan. Over time, especially in America, the recipe evolved into the creamy version we know today, enriched with cream and sometimes garlic. The addition of chicken became popular in the U.S. to create a protein-packed main dish.
