Alfredo Sauce

Alfredo Sauce

Everyday

Alfredo sauce is a classic Italian pasta sauce originating from Rome, characterized by its velvety texture and rich flavor. Traditional versions combine butter, aged Parmesan cheese, and starchy pasta water to create an emulsified sauce, while modern adaptations often incorporate heavy cream for added richness. This high-fat sauce provides significant calcium from dairy components but is notably calorie-dense due to saturated fats, with commercial varieties sometimes containing thickeners or preservatives that alter its nutritional profile.
