Alessandra smartly latched onto Dominic Blizzard's cross from the left wing to give the home side an early lead.
Bobby Reid almost increased Argyle's advantage with an impressive effort from long range that just went wide.
Carlisle searched for a late leveller and came close when Brad Potts shot was cleared off the line by Curtis Nelson.
