Ingredients:

  • 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
  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Cook pasta al dente according to directions on package
  2. Drain and toss with one tablespoon of butter, cover and set aside
  3. In a medium sauce pan over low heat, heat cream, garlic and 7 Tbsp of butter
  4. Stir constantly until cream begins to simmer
  5. Mix in (small amounts at a time) both cheeses
