Steps

1 Done	Cook the Pasta Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2 Done	Prepare the Alfredo Sauce 1. In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. 2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
3 Done	Make the Creamy Sauce 1. Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring well. Bring it to a simmer, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until the cream thickens slightly. 2. Lower the heat and add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy. 3. If you want it extra creamy, add the mozzarella cheese and stir until melted.
4 Done	Season the Sauce Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5 Done	Combine the Pasta and Sauce Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing it gently to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy Alfredo sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
6 Done	Serve Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately! Enjoy your rich and creamy Alfredo pasta!
