#### **Step 2: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce**
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1–2 minutes—don’t let it brown). Whisk in flour and cook for another minute to form a roux.

Slowly whisk in the milk and cream, making sure there are no lumps. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Let it simmer for 5–6 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

#### **Step 3: Mix and Layer**
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta and the garlic cream sauce until fully coated. Pour half the pasta into a greased 9×13 baking dish, sprinkle with half the mozzarella and cheddar, then repeat with the remaining pasta and cheese.

Top with a generous handful of Parmesan for that crispy golden crust.

#### **Step 4: Bake to Perfection**
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned on top. Broil for the last 1–2 minutes if you want extra crispiness.

#### **Step 5: Serve & Enjoy**
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan if desired. Get ready for compliments!
