On medium heat, melt butter in a pan, then saute the garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Add the flour, and cook it for 1 minute.
Add the milk and cream. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes, then add the parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using.
Whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickened.
Toss cooked pasta in the sauce, garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
- Don't be tempted to add more parmesan to thicken the sauce, as the sauce will thicken more when it cools down.
- The amounts above will make around 2 cups of sauce that are enough for 3/4 lb/12 oz of pasta.
- To reheat the sauce, add a splash of water and whisk over low-medium heat until it's warmed through and no longer too thick.
