Question

Is alfrado a traditional Italian dish?

Answer 1

I don't think so.  I think it's more of an Americanized Italian dish.  I don't ever remember my grandmother making that when I was a kid.

Answer 2

No, it's based off of the traditional Fettuccine al Burro, but was largely created and popularized in America.

Answer 3

nope, here in Italy we do not have that alfredo fettuccine.

Answer 4

The version America is familiar with is not the same as the one the Italians made with cream and butter.  If you want to go traditional go with a red sauce or wine sauce.  Try puttanesca... it's delicious and very traditional
