Alfredo sauce is named after Alfredo di Lelio, an Italian chef who created the dish in Rome in the early 20th century.
The original “fettuccine Alfredo” was made with just butter and Parmesan cheese, and Alfredo served it in his restaurant to please his pregnant wife, who had lost her appetite.
The dish became famous when Hollywood actors dining at his restaurant popularized it internationally, and over time, it evolved into the creamier version we know today.
