Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 500ml/2 cups double/heavy whipping cream
  • 120g/1 ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pinch grated nutmeg
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan or a deep pan, melt the butter over low heat, then add the heavy cream and warm it over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the grated Parmesan cheese and continue heating the cream over low heat while stirring with a wooden spoon or a whisk until the cheese has melted and fully incorporated into it. Do not allow the sauce to come to a boil. It should only simmer very lightly. Finish it off with a few gratings of nutmeg, taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.
