Fettuccine Alfredo

This Fettuccine Alfredo recipe was cribbed decades ago by a well-known chef with whom Victoria’s late husband once worked. It has stayed in her recipe file for one great reason: it is better than any other Fettuccine Alfredo recipe you’re likely to find. Why? Infusions of flavors like green onion and pepperoncino into the cream sauce elevate the dish well beyond the blandness usually associated with it.

History of Fettuccine Alfredo

This dish has a little bit of a bad reputation among pasta snobs. But it has an endearing backstory. Legend has it Roman restauranteur Alfredo di Lelio created a spin on the Italian tradition of pasta with butter and cheese to encourage his wife to eat after a difficult pregnancy. You can still eat his family restaurant, Alfredo Alla Scrofa, in Rome today
