It is a white sauce made from cream and butter and often parmesan cheese. Its great over pasta! Although it was named by an Italian restaurateur, at his restaurant Alfredo alla Scrofain Rome, it is largely an American dish, essentially the same as the Italian dish 'fettuccine al burro e panna' (fettuccine with butter and cream). In Italy the name Alfredo is rarely used and the sauce is never named or prepared separately from the dish. In American cuisine, it is often mixed with other ingredients such as parsley, garlic, shrimp and chicken. (Courtesy of Wikipedia.)

Who invented Alfredo Sauce?
Alfredo di Lelio owned and operated a small restaurant in Rome in 1914. He created a special light dish for his pregnant wife when she could not tolerate heavy tomato sauces. The original Alfredo was egg fettuccine with butter and parmigiano cheese. Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks often stopped into his establishment which in turn attracted other Hollywood actors and the dish was talked about and recreated in America with the addition of heavy cream. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are the grandchildren of Alfredo Di Lelio (Alfredo and Ines Di Lelio). The story is this. Alfredo di Lelio opened the restaurant "Alfredo" in Rome nel 1914, after leaving his first restaurant run by his mother Angelina in Piazza Rosa (Piazza disappeared in 1910 following the construction of the Galleria Colonna). In this local fame spread, first to Rome and then in the world of "fettuccine all'Alfredo". In 1943, during the war, Di Lelio gave the local to some of his collaborators. In 1950 Alfredo Di Lelio decided to reopen with his son Armando (Alfredo II) his restaurant in Piazza Augusto Imperatore n.30 "Il Vero Alfredo", which is now managed by his nephew Alfredo (grandfather of the same name), with the help of his sister Ines (the same name of his grandmother, wife of Alfredo Di Lelio, which were dedicated to the noodles). In conclusion, the local Piazza Augusto Imperatore is following the family tradition of Alfredo Di Lelio and his noodles.
