1 c grated parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling on top
½ tsp Pepper
½ tsp Salt
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1 lb dried fettuccine pasta
Begin cooking pasta until al dente. While pasta is boiling,
pour cream into a medium saucepan. Set pan over high heat and bring cream to a
boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer vigorously, stirring occasionally, until
slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Remove pan from heat and set aside until
pasta is ready.
In a small bowl, combine parmesan cheese, pepper, salt, and
nutmeg. Drain pasta and dump back into pot. Add the warm cream to the pasta.
Add the parmesan mixture. Toss pasta with cream and cheese mixture until the
ingredients are well blended. Let sit for at least 3 minutes for pasta to
absorb some of the sauce and for it to thicken up a bit. Sprinkle with
remaining parmesan cheese and serve.
I occasionally add diced chicken, or broccoli, or sautéed
garlic, or ham to this pasta for extra flavor. Spinach is also good but it
makes the mixture a tad watery. Or I serve it as is with baked chicken and
steamed broccoli on the side. This dish is super easy for kids to make.
