Homemade Alfredo Sauce

Cultural Context

Originating from Rome, Alfredo sauce was created in the early 20th century by Alfredo di Lelio to please his pregnant wife. The dish quickly gained popularity and became a staple in Italian-American cuisine. Today, it's often served over fettuccine, though variations abound, including additions like chicken or shrimp.

15 min
easy
4 servings
Servings4
3 tablespoons salted butter
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 oz fettuccine
Fresh parsley, finely chopped

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

1

Boil the fettuccine according to package instructions.

2

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.

3

Whisk in the flour. Gradually add the heavy cream, then the milk, whisking constantly.

4

Reduce the heat to low once the sauce begins to bubble. It will continue to thicken as it simmers.

5

Slowly sprinkle in the cheese, continuing to whisk.

6

Drain the pasta and carefully mix it into the sauce until well incorporated. The pasta will absorb the sauce and it will get thicker still.

7

Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve!
