Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian dish that has transcended borders to become a favorite around the world, especially in Latin America. Its origin dates back to the early 20th century in Rome, when chef Alfredo di Lelio created this recipe for his wife, combining simple ingredients for a creamy and comforting dish. In different Latin American countries, although it retains its original name, it is also simply known as "Alfredo pasta" or "fettuccine with Alfredo sauce," being a symbol of the Italian influence on the regional cuisine.
