For an even richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of milk. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture. Adjust the amount of garlic powder and nutmeg to your personal preference. If the sauce becomes too thick while serving, add a splash of milk or pasta water to thin it out.
