Instructions
- Heat cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering.
- Reduce heat to low and add parmesan cheese, stirring frequently.
- Continue to simmer and stir until the cheese is totally melted and the sauce has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Add nutmeg and stir to combine.
- Serve over your favorite pasta topped with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Use the highest quality cheese you can, it will melt much better and stay combined with the sauce.
- I usually use this amount of sauce for 1 to 1 ½ pounds of pasta.
- If the sauce becomes thick, add a splash of cream or half-and-half, or even milk to thin it out a little bit.
- When reheating the sauce, do so over low heat in a saucepan. If re-heating pasta with this sauce on it, microwave until the chill has just been taken off, add a splash of cream, stir, and microwave until warmed through.
