For an even richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg to the sauce.
Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. Roasted garlic can also be used for a more mellow flavor.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk or pasta water to thin it out.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and melting properties.
To make this sauce even more decadent, consider adding a knob of mascarpone cheese at the end.
