About Parmesan sauce

Parmesan sauce is a rich and creamy addition to dishes, traditionally stemming from Italian cuisine. Made with Parmesan cheese, butter, garlic, heavy cream, and occasionally flour for thickening, it is prized for its savory and nutty flavor. Often used in pasta dishes like Fettuccine Alfredo, this sauce has become a staple in many global menus. Parmesan cheese brings calcium and protein, which are essential for bone health, while garlic offers antioxidants. However, the sauce is high in saturated fats and calories due to cream and butter, making it a more indulgent option best enjoyed in moderation. Pairing it with whole-grain pasta or vegetables can increase the nutritional value of the dish. Perfect for adding depth and luxury to meals, Parmesan sauce elevates simple ingredients into sophisticated fare.
