Don't know where I originally got this, but this is the best alfredo sauce I have ever had outside of a restaurant. I have made it with or without the cream cheese, and with all Parmesan, and it still turns out great. The nutmeg is essential!

Rich, creamy, smooth and delicious! This recipe is exactly what you want in an alfredo sauce. Alfredo sauce is one of my favorite things to order and to make and this one is now my all-time favorite. It is restaurant quality! I made it exactly as written because there is no need to change a thing. I served it over fettuccine, but it would be wonderful with absolutely any kind of pasta or pasta dish. I can't wait to try it in white lasagna! Thanks for sharing!
