Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 8

Season the Alfredo sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped parsley and basil, reserving a small amount for garnishing.

Step 10

To assemble, arrange the spinach (green), tomato (red), and plain fettuccine (white) pasta side by side on each plate for a tri-color effect.

Step 11

Pour the fresh herbed Alfredo sauce generously over the pasta.

Step 12

Garnish with the remaining parsley, basil, and an extra sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful pasta dish inspired by the colors of the Italian flag!
