📜 A SHORT HISTORY OF ALFREDO

Alfredo sauce was first created in Rome in the early 1900s by Alfredo di Lelio, who wanted to make a soothing dish for his pregnant wife. He mixed butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and pasta water to create a creamy sauce. Over time, America added heavy cream, garlic, and seasonings — transforming the simple Italian sauce into the rich, luxurious Alfredo we know today.

Chicken Alfredo became popular in the United States as restaurants began adding protein to make the dish heartier. Today, variations like garlic butter chicken Alfredo are favorites around the world.

🧬 FORMATION OF FLAVOR
