For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the butter slightly before adding the cream. Be careful not to burn it. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture. Pre-shredded cheese often contains cellulose, which can prevent it from melting smoothly. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk or cream to thin it out. Conversely, if it's too thin, continue cooking over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches your desired consistency. This sauce is best served immediately, as it can thicken upon standing. If you need to make it ahead, gently reheat it over low heat, adding a splash of cream if necessary, to restore its creamy texture.
