Just as there is a wide variety of pasta, the same goes for sauces, including alfredo pasta.

Initially, alfredo sauce was made with only butter and Parmesan cheese, but over time, roux or bechamel were added, as well as chicken broth, vegetables, garlic, chicken, seafood, parsley, and even white wine and egg.

It was Alfredo di Lelio who created it for the first time in 1914 in his Carlos alla Scrofa restaurant in Rome with a variant of fettuccine al burro.
