🔪 Methods (Cooking Techniques Explained)
1. Sear-to-Flavor Method
Brown chicken first — golden crust = better flavor.
2. One-Pan Flavor Build Method
Using the same skillet for sauce adds depth from chicken drippings.
3. Cream-Emulsion Method
Slowly melting Parmesan into simmering cream creates a silky sauce.
4. Pasta-Water Method
The starch from pasta water binds the sauce to the noodles perfectly.
📜 History
Alfredo sauce originates from early 20th-century Rome, where Alfredo di Lelio created it for his pregnant wife. It spread to America in mid-century Italian restaurants, evolving into the rich, creamy version we love today.
Pairing chicken with Alfredo became popular in the 1970s and 1980s when home cooks wanted protein-packed, kid-friendly variations. Linguine became a natural match thanks to its long, silky texture.
Today, creamy chicken Alfredo is one of the most beloved comfort pastas in the world.

Butter + cream = velvety richness
