📜 History of Alfredo Pasta

Alfredo sauce was originally created in Rome in the early 1900s by Alfredo di Lelio, who made it for his pregnant wife using only butter and cheese. When American tourists discovered the dish, they added heavy cream and turned it into the rich, indulgent Alfredo we know today.

The pairing of chicken with Alfredo became an American favorite — creamy, satisfying, and perfect for weeknight meals.

🔬 Formation: Why This Recipe Works

1. Balanced Creaminess

Heavy cream + butter + Parmesan = smooth, silky sauce.

2. Garlic Butter Chicken

Infuses flavor directly into the sauce.

3. Pasta Water Magic

Starch bonds everything together for a restaurant-style finish.

4. Seasoning Layers

Italian herbs + garlic + nutmeg create deep flavor.

This is comfort food chemistry at its finest.
