Pour in heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
In a small bowl, combine Parmesan, mozzarella, and Gruyere cheeses.
Gradually add cheese to the sauce, a handful at a time, stirring until each addition is melted and smooth.
Stir in nutmeg.
Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the cheese sauce.
Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.
Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl.
Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
