Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian pasta dish known for its creamy, indulgent sauce. Traditionally, it consists of fettuccine noodles coated in a rich blend of butter, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese, resulting in a smooth and velvety texture. Originating in early 20th-century Rome, this dish was initially created by Alfredo di Lelio as a comforting recipe for his pregnant wife. While it offers a satisfying source of carbohydrates and calcium from cheese, Fettuccine Alfredo is also high in saturated fats and calories due to the butter and cream. Modern variations often add chicken or vegetables for added protein and fiber, though the dish remains best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. For lighter options, recipes may substitute cream with milk or use lower-fat cheese alternatives. It embodies hearty Italian comfort, perfect for special occasions or as a treat.
