\"This<\/center><\/p>\n

Italian opera singer Enrico Caruso helped make Italian food mainstream, so perhaps it is unsurprising a spaghetti dish was named in his honor. However, not everyone agrees what that dish should be. <\/p>\n

Caruso loved chicken liver, and he believed it was essential to help him sing opera. Most spaghetti alla caruso recipes are similar to this one from 1939<\/a>. In her cookbook, Where To Dine in Thirty-Nine<\/I>, Diane Ahsley included a recipe from the Caruso chain of restaurants. That sauce contains= two essential ingredients: liver and mushrooms.<\/p>\n

However, Knickerbocker Hotel chef Louis DeGouy claims the real spaghetti alla Caruso doesn’t have chicken livers. <\/p>\n

Caruso literally lived at the Knickerbocker Hotel in Manhattan for many years while he was in residence at the Metropolitan Opera House. He premiered there back in 1903<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Hotels in that era usually provided meals to their guests, and Caruso was no exception. He livered there after all, in an apartment without a kitchen. However, he also ate at restaurants in the neighborhood. Those restaurants included spaghetti with livers, and for most of the 20th century Spaghetti Caruso meant just that. <\/p>\n

Louis DeGouy published his famous hotel recipes in The Gold Cookbook in 1947, including a Spaghetti Caruso. DeGouy’s version skips the liver but does include mushrooms. <\/p>\n

This recipe is adapted from Gold Cook Book<\/I> by chef Louis DeGouy.<\/p>\n

This recipe is for 2 pounds of spaghetti, which seems like a lot but Enrico Caruso loved food quite a bit. <\/p>\n
