Could-a-Fooled Me Fettuccine Alfredo

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until bubbling. Stir in flour, and cook 1 minute. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk. (Slowly add milk, so it doesn’t clump.) Cook until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Add cream cheese, salt, garlic powder, nutmeg and pepper. Turn off heat and add 1 cup Parmigiano cheese, stirring with a whisk until cheese melts. Toss sauce with hot pasta. Garnish with remaining Parmigiano, black pepper and the optional parsley. Serve immediately. And prepare to enter Nirvana!
