Alfredo is a creamy pasta sauce that originates from Italy, traditionally made with butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. This rich and indulgent sauce perfectly coats fettuccine noodles, creating a luscious dish that’s a favorite comfort food. While it offers a delightful blend of flavors, it's worth noting that Alfredo can be high in calories and saturated fats. However, you can make healthier versions by using milk or plant-based creams, adding vegetables, or opting for whole wheat pasta. Whether you enjoy it as a classic or a lighter twist, Alfredo remains a beloved staple in Italian cuisine.
