Try substituting the fresh grated Parmesan cheese with a 5 or 6 cheese Italian blend (Mozzarella, Provolone, Asiago, Parmesan, Romano and Fontina). This really enhances the flavor even more.
Alfredo sauce is delicious and easy to make. I like to add pesto to mine, with a bit of Worcestershire sauce and a dash of Tabasco.
