Alfredo sauce originated in Rome, where it was created by Alfredo di Lelio in the early 20th century. Traditionally, it was a simple blend of butter and parmesan cheese served with fettuccine. The American version has evolved to include cream, making it richer and creamier. Today, One Pot Pasta variations have become popular for their convenience, allowing home cooks to create a creamy pasta dish without multiple pots to clean.
