For an even richer flavor, consider using freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano. Adding a pinch of nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce enhances the overall flavor profile. If you don’t have ham, cooked chicken or sautéed mushrooms make excellent substitutes. Adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese to your liking, for a more or less intense cheese flavor. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor; Alfredo sauce tends to thicken as it cools.
