Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the salt and the pasta. Cook until al dente, about 12 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain and return pasta to warm pot.
- Meanwhile, to a medium sauté pan, add all the butter, 2/3 of the cream, and the salt. Turn heat to medium and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until cream thickens up a bit.
- Add the sauce to the pasta pot and turn heat on to low. Toss the pasta, bringing it up and around from the bottom of the pan until all the pasta is coated.
- Add the remaining cream, grated Parmesan cheese, freshly ground pepper, and the nutmeg. Toss again and taste and correct for salt. Garnish with parsley if desired, and serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese on the side.
