Creamy, cheesy and just plain comforting. Fettuccine Alfredo was first heard of in the 15th century, and until now, people are still trying to perfect their family’s Alfredo sauce recipe — which means that it’s one of those foods that a person can never get sick of. A great Alfredo sauce must always have Parmesan cheese, really good butter and cream. A successfully made sauce will taste great not only on pasta, but pizza and other dishes, too.
