Alfredo sauce usually is a heavy cream-laden sauce that tastes great and sinful but hardly qualifies as a health food. You can make a lighter version with non-fat milk. The milk has calcium, of course, plus potassium and phosphorus. Oregano leaves are a good source of manganese, iron and Vitamin A. Regularly eating these fresh leaves can help boost the immune system. Oregano is known to relieve menstrual cramps.
