Step 1

Bring a large pot of water with 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil.

Step 2

Meanwhile, add two thirds of the heavy cream and the butter to a large skillet. Melt over medium-low heat and allow the mixture to reduce by one third, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 3

Once the sauce is reduced, turn the heat off and add the remaining heavy cream to the skillet.

Step 4

Season with the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 5

Add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook according to the manufacturer's directions for ‘al dente’ pasta, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked pasta directly into the skillet with the heavy cream sauce. Reserve the pasta water.

Step 7

Turn the heat to low and add the parmesan and nutmeg to the pasta.

Step 8

Cook the pasta and sauce for about 1-2 minutes, stirring with tongs, until the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Add reserved pasta water to the sauce. Once again, stir with the tongs until the sauce is glossy and coats the pasta.

Step 10

Serve immediately
