Spaghetti with Alfredo sauce is a rich and creamy pasta dish originating from Italian cuisine but widely popularized in American dining. Traditionally, Alfredo sauce is made from butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese, resulting in a smooth and indulgent texture that coats the spaghetti strands. While beloved for its comforting flavor, the dish is high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium due to its dairy content. Spaghetti provides carbohydrates for energy, and the sauce contains calcium from the cheese and cream, though these benefits are counterbalanced by its high fat content. For a healthier variation, ingredients like whole grain spaghetti, reduced-fat cream, or plant-based alternatives can be used to improve its nutritional profile while retaining its creamy appeal.
