1944. Riccione, Italy. While improvising in the kitchen, the Chef Renato Gualandi, hired for the lunch of the meeting between the English Eighth Army and the American Fifth Army, created one of the most famous recipes in the world: “The Americans had fantastic bacon, delicious milk cream, cheese and egg yolk powder. I put it all together and served this pasta to the generals and officers. At the last moment, I decided to add some black pepper, which released an excellent flavour. The pasta was pretty “creamy”, they loved it!”
