What is Alfredo Sauce?

I don’t know about Italy, but I know for sure that Alfredo pasta is the most popular Italian pasta in America.

You won’t believe it, but this pasta (like many super famous dishes) was invented by accident by a Roman restaurateur. His wife gave birth to their first child. After the delivery she lost her appetite completely and refused to eat.  Out of desperation he decided to cook something super tasty for her so that she could not refuse.

He prepared a rich pasta sauce out of butter, Parmesan cheese and cream. His wife was delighted and asked for more. Moreover, they included the new dish to the restaurant’s menu and their visitors loved it.

The fame of pasta Alfredo first spread throughout Rome and then spread all over the world. This paste became super popular in America, due to the huge number of emigrants from Italy.Nowadays, mushrooms, chicken, seafood can be added to Alfredo pasta - a huge number of variations of this Italian dish exists!

Key Ingredients to Make Alfredo Sauce

Literally Alfredo Sauce melts in the mouth. Each of the below ingredients blend incredibly well together creating the creamiest and smoothest Alfredo sauce.

  • Cream
  • Butter
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Cream cheese
  • Nutmeg
  • Italian seasoning
  • White pepper
  • Egg Yolk

Is Alfredo Sauce gluten free?

Yes! This homemade Alfredo sauce is 100% gluten free. I used an egg yolk to thicken the sauce.  Add it to the sauce carefully or it will scramble rather than thicken it.
