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.
