Italian

1/2 cup Unsalted (sweet) Butter,

1 lb Fresh Fettucine Noodles

1/2 cup Light Cream (or diluted Creme Fraiche),

1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese,

1 Pinch of Nutmeg

1 Pinch of fresh Parsley(optional),

1 Little Pepper (optional)

Put water on to boil for the noodles. As the water comes to a boil, start preparing the sauce. In a separate pan melt unsalted (sweet) butter over very low heat, do not let it brown. Once the butter has melted, stir into the butter: light cream (or the diluted Creme Fraiche), freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Beat this with a whisk to keep the sauce from clumping. Once the sauce is smooth, season the sauce with a pinch of nutmeg, a pinch of fresh parsley (optional), and a little pepper (optional). Turn the sauce down to a simmer and add fresh Fettucine noodles (or a batch of homemade noodles) to the boiling water. When the noodles are cooked al dente, drain and toss gently with sauce. Serve immediately.
