1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese– > View on Amazon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)- > View on Amazon
In a large skillet over medium heat, add butter, heavy whipping cream, and cream cheese (if using). Stir over low heat for about 2 minutes until melted and it starts to lightly simmer.
Whisk in the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for one minute. Note: For extra garlicky flavor, first melt the butter, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute and then add the ingredients from step 1.
Reduce heat to low and add in the Parmesan cheese, continue to whisk until melted.
For a very subtle nutty flavor, sprinkle some nutmeg on top before serving.
Adding 2 ounces of cream cheese makes the sauce creamier.
Add immediately to pasta of choice.
