Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce

1/3 c half & half
1/3 c grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbl. butter
about 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
cracked black pepper to taste

Allow the half & half to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Add the half & half and cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted. Add the nutmeg and cracked black pepper. Pour over fettuccine noodles and toss to evenly coat. You can serve with chicken or shrimp.

*I always double and sometimes even triple this recipe. I do that to make enough sauce to cover the amount of pasta I need to feed 6. This recipe works for about 4 ounces of pasta.
