Made in Italy - Recipe based on cheese, oregano, and capers, a variant of the "classic Alfredo Sauce" that evokes the scents of the Mediterranean. Excellent for seasoning all first courses and risottos, or paired with meat. Try it on hamburgers. Fun fact: Alfredo sauce is named after Alfredo Di Lelio, who in 1908 introduced "fettuccine Alfredo" to the menu of his family's restaurant. In reality, pasta with butter and Parmesan has been present in Italy since the 1500s, but Alfredo Di Lelio was the first restaurateur to give this combination a gourmet significance. The recipe's success arrived several years later in the United States, where it became a symbol of the Italian community. It was two silent film stars from Hollywood, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, who made the recipe famous after tasting it during a trip to Rome at Alfredo's restaurant.
