Fettuccine Alfredo was the master mind of an Italian cook Alfredo diLelio.                                   He created this dish in his restaurant in Rome, Italy in 1914.
Prior to this an authentic Italian dish, much simpler to prepare was a
common dish served though-out Italy . This dish called “Fettuccine Al
Burro” was a dish of fettuccine noodles dressed only with good aged
“parmigiano cheese” and lots of butter, (interpreted as double butter).
It is believed Alfredo created this dish when his pregnant wife lost her
appetite during her pregnancy. He prepared for her the traditional
Fettuccine Al Burro, with the addition of cream, making a triple butter,
(cheese, butter and rich cream). Alfredo was an extravagant character
who would use gold forks to serve his created dish to famous and
