Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cook the Fettuccine
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine (or gluten-free fettuccine) according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.

Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- 3
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Lower the heat and add the grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the cream mixture. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Toss and Serve
Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan and black pepper if desired.
