How To Make Alfredo Sauce

On a cold winter’s night or as a decadent dinner treat, Alfredo sauce can really satisfy the soul. Over fresh fettuccini pasta the creamy, buttery sauce really hits the spot. This white sauce is made from butter and parmesan cheese, so you know it must be good. The authentically Italian dish, Fettuccini Alfredo, was popularized in Rome in 1914 by Chef Alfredo di Lelio. This widely loved dish has gained many variations over the years. Some dishes add chicken to the pasta for depth and protein while others add cream, and still others use other cheeses to alter the flavor of the sauce and stretch the amount. You can use Alfredo sauce on pasta, pizza, chicken dishes, or as dip for breadsticks. In this video, Chef Mark leads an online cooking lesson for Alfredo sauce that gives you all the details you’ll need to prepare your own. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
