- 1 lb fettuccine
- 2 pints heavy whipping cream
- 1 C romano cheese – grated
- 1 C parmesan cheese – grated
- 8 Tbsp butter (1 stick) – divided
- 1 Tbsp crushed garlic
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions:
- Cook pasta al dente according to directions on package
- Drain and toss with one tablespoon of butter, cover and set aside
