Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g tagliatelle pasta
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt and pepper to taste

  1. Cook tagliatelle in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, then drain.

  3. Add Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
  4. Toss the cooked tagliatelle in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh tagliatelle for the best texture.
To add extra flavor, sauté minced garlic in butter before adding cream.
