For an even richer flavor, consider using freshly grated nutmeg. Adjust the amount of black pepper to your preference. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of pasta water to thin it out. For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
