Alfredo Sauce Recipe ExplainedAlfredo di Lelio of Rome, Italy, is the creator of the original Alfredo Sauce. Today there are two types of Alfredo sauce, the Italian or the American type. Italian Alfredo Sauce is always lots of butter and Parmesan cheese. In American restaurants, additional ingredients are added to the Italian mixture, including heavy cream, sometimes nutmeg, basil, or other seasonings. Alfredo sauce is common with fetuccine pasta, but can also be served with chicken or vegetables.
Alfredo sauce compliments a variety of wines, including Chardonnay, Pinot, Grigio, and Sauvignon Blanc. Instead of creating the sauce from scratch, Alfredo sauce can also be bought from the grocery store, in jars near the spaghetti sauce. Note, that persons who are lactose intolerant may not handle Alfredo sauce well.
