About Pasta with alfredo sauce
Pasta with Alfredo sauce is a rich and creamy dish originating from Italian cuisine, specifically attributed to Alfredo di Lelio’s recipe in Rome. Traditionally, it combines fettuccine pasta with a velvety sauce made from butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Variations often include garlic, parsley, or additional proteins like chicken or shrimp. While it offers a comforting and indulgent experience, its high fat and calorie content make it a less health-conscious choice for regular consumption. However, the dish does provide protein and calcium through the cheese and cream, and whole-grain pasta versions can offer added fiber and nutrients. Moderation and mindful ingredient substitutions, such as lighter dairy options or added vegetables, can make this classic meal a more balanced part of a nutritious diet.
