National Fettuccine Alfredo Day

Alfredo di Lelio, an Italian restaurateur, created  Fettuccine Alfredo in 1908.  After his wife had given birth to their first son that year, she did not have an appetite.  To help encourage her to eat, he created a dish of noodles, cheese and butter.   She liked the dish so much that she thought he should put it on the menu at his small restaurant in Rome.

Today it is one of the most popular pasta dishes in America and being served up at our Daily Planet Bowls station for dinner!
