Directions | Fill pot with water, add 1 t salt, cover, and bring to a boil. Cook the pasta: 3 minutes if it’s fresh pasta, or 1 minute less than stated on the package of dry pasta. Add the peas, turn off heat, and let stand for 1 minute, then drain.
Meanwhile, heat oil over medium-high heat, add garlic, and sauté for 1 minute. Add milk, ½ t salt, and nutmeg and stir until it starts to simmer. Reduce heat and continue simmering for 5 minutes. When the sauce is ready, stir in the pasta and peas. Remove from heat, stir in cheese, and serve. |

Notes | This sauce is a lighter, healthier version of traditional Alfredo sauce which is much richer, as it is made with butter and cream. Other differences: Alfredo does not contain garlic, and the parmesan is incorporated into the sauce, rather than just stirred in at the end as in this recipe.
