Quick and Easy Alfrado

Its so easy and yummy.
Here is what you need.  Two plus cups of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, one stick of butter, 1 cup of cream, several cloves of garlic, pasta, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste
Melt the butter in a skillet and start pasta
Add cream
Add pressed/minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste
Whisk together reserve a cup or so of the hot pasta water in case your sauce needs thining.
Place cheese in a shallow dish
Pour in hot cream and butter mixture.  Let it rest and get to know each other.  Do not stir

Add hot pasta.  I used fresh linguini but you can use anything it is okay too use dry pasta in any shape or size.  It is important that the pasta is hot.
Mix together. Add a more salt and pepper to taste.  Add more cheese or reserved pasta water to desired consistency.
Yum.  It is so good.
Dish up and sprinkle with a little parsley and enjoy.
