Pasta: Fettuccini Alfredo

The story of Fettuccine Alfredo takes us back to 1907, when Alfredo di Lelio noticed that his wife, who had just given birth to their son, was not eating and was feeling very weak. So he decided to make her a plate of pasta to provide her with the necessary sustenance to feel better. He made a plate of fettuccine with butter, but he decided to triple the amount of butter that one would usually put on pasta, and he included some Parmigiano Reggiano.

It was so good that he opened a restaraunt and this became a signature dish there.  Alfredo’s original restaurant, which still stands today and is located in Rome, under the new name Ristorante Alfredo alla Scrofa.

Participants will learn to this long pasta, as well as how to make a blend of flours for pasta making.  Finally they will make the delicious alfredo sauce and dine on their work!
