- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Large pinch ground white pepper
- Large pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Recipe method:

- While fettuccine is cooking, place butter and cream in heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until blended and mixture bubbles for 2 minutes.
- Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg. Remove from heat.
- Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until thoroughly blended and fairly smooth.
- Return skillet briefly to heat if necessary to completely blend cheese, but do not let sauce bubble or cheese will become lumpy and tough.

- Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
