fettuccine Alfredo

Buttery parmesan noodles

Fettuccine Alfredo is an Italian-American pasta dish of flat ribbon noodles tossed with butter and Parmesan cheese, creating a rich, creamy sauce.

American versions often add heavy cream.

The dish is named after Alfredo di Lelio, a Roman restaurateur who popularized it in the early twentieth century: We ordered the fettuccine Alfredo as comfort food.
