First cook the fettuccine pasta as per package instructions. For mine, I brought a pot of water to boil. Added about 1 tsp of salt. Add the pasta and cook for about 10 mins until al-dente. Reserve ¼ cup of the cooking liquid and drain the remaining liquid from pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large pan and melt the butter in medium-low flame. Add the grated garlic to the melted butter and saute for about 15 secs.
Now add the cream to the pan and stir well until it combines with the butter. Now, add the nutmeg, salt and pepper and mix well.
Finally, add the parmesan cheese , mix well and turn of the flame. The cheese will melt and thicken the sauce. Immediately add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss so that the sauce coats the pasta. Add the ¼ cup of the cooking liquid to thin out the sauce, if needed.
Serve immediately with a garnish of chopped parsley and grated parmesan.
