alfredo sauce

White pasta coating

Alfredo sauce is a rich, creamy pasta sauce made from butter, Parmesan cheese, and often cream or pasta water.

It coats fettuccine in the classic dish fettuccine Alfredo: The chicken came over penne with alfredo sauce.

Named after an Italian restaurateur, though the American version is typically heavier than the Roman original.
