Steps:
- Add all ingredients except for basil and olive oil to food processor. Blend with pulsing motion for a minute or so to breakdown and form a paste.
- Next add the basil and with processor running slowly add the oil in a steady stream to blend thoroughly.
- This makes 3 cups of fresh basil pesto which can be used over hot pasta or as a dipping sauce. You need 1 cup for this Pesto Alfredo Sauce recipe.
- Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet (cast iron type) over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- To the skillet, whisk in the heavy cream until combined and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, kosher salt, white and black peppers and nutmeg. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and whisk in 1 cup of the fresh pesto.
- Serve immediately over fettuccini (or pasta of choice), meatballs, sautéed chicken or as a dipping sauce for, or over, vegetables or breadsticks.

Stir to combine, and when the cheese has melted, remove the pan from the heat.
