Alfredo sauce is a creamy, rich condiment traditionally used in Italian-American cuisine, especially over pasta like fettuccine. Originating from Rome, the classic version consists of butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese, creating its signature velvety texture and savory flavor. Modern recipes may include garlic, parsley, or additional milk for variations. While Alfredo is a comforting indulgence, it is notably high in saturated fat and calories due to its dairy content, making it less suited for regular consumption if prioritizing heart health or weight management. However, it does provide calcium, thanks to the cheese and cream. Health-conscious versions substitute lighter ingredients, such as reduced-fat milk or Greek yogurt, to retain flavor with fewer calories. For those enjoying classic Alfredo, moderation and portion control can be key to incorporating it while maintaining a balanced diet.
