Pasta with Alfredo Sauce

Pasta with Alfredo Sauce

Everyday

Pasta with Alfredo sauce is a rich Italian-American dish featuring a creamy emulsion of butter, Parmesan cheese, and often heavy cream, traditionally served with long, flat noodles like fettuccine. The sauce’s velvety texture and indulgent flavor profile derive from its high saturated fat content, making it calorie-dense compared to tomato-based or oil-based pasta sauces. While classic preparations emphasize simplicity, modern variations may incorporate garlic, herbs, or proteins, but all versions remain notable for their lactose content and suitability for high-energy dietary needs.
