As any self-respecting American will tell you, Alfredo sauce is a traditional Italian pasta sauce consisting of a wickedly delicious, gooey mixture of butter, cheese, eggs, and heavy cream that is usually accompanied down one's throat by the king of thick pastas: fettucinis. Any self-respecting Italian-American eatery would not dream of disappointing its customer base by not stocking this dish (along with puffy garlic breadsticks and giant meatballs).
