what is alfredo and how is it made

Alfredo is a heavenly creamy sauce that is made from butter and milk, sometimes cream for the extra creamy taste. It is commonly added in pasta creating the white looking sauce that is commonly topped of with a cheese like parmesan.

Alfredo is made by melting butter then adding a thickener like plain flour, once your flour and butter have combined, add the milk and cream. Whisk the sauce until a thick white sauce is formed. Top the sauce with your favorite cheese and salt.
