How to Make Fettuccine With Cream Nutmeg Sauce

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. Drain the fettuccine, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of sour cream, 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of chopped Italian parsley.
  7. Heat the cream mixture until it's hot and bubbly, but do not let it boil.
  8. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the creamy sauce. Add a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley (optional).
