Origin Easy One Pan Ramen Chicken Alfredo
Alfredo sauce originates from Italy, traditionally made with butter, cream, and Parmesan cheese. This version takes inspiration from Japanese ramen, swapping traditional pasta for quick-cooking ramen noodles. This fusion brings together the best of both worlds—silky Alfredo sauce and the springy texture of ramen.
