For an even richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular butter. A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, subtle spice that complements the Fontina beautifully. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of pasta water to thin it out to your desired consistency. Try adding some sautéed mushrooms or wilted spinach to the sauce for extra flavor and nutrients.

Gradually add the cubed Fontina cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth and velvety.
