As many folks have stated, the original Alfredo was just butter and
parmesan, with no cream.

Try it with the nutmeg...

And try this variation, mentioned on the website I listed above. It
has no cream in it..and is loosened with pasta water.

Next time I might add more nutmeg. It was really, really good.

And to *******ize it, a touch of cream really isn't bad...but it isn't
needed. But it really isn't too rich with it either.
