Ingredients

• Kosher salt
• 1 lb. fettuccine
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into cubes
• 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
• Black pepper
• 1 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for topping

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boiling. Add the pasta and cook as directed. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.

2. Meanwhile, combine the heavy cream and butter in a large skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking to combine. Whisk in the nutmeg and 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Keep warm over low heat.
