Fettuccine Alfredo (NOT low-fat!)

2 T. butter
7/8 c. heavy cream
1 pound fettuccine noodles
1 T. olive oil
1 c. freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra to serve
1/4 t. nutmeg
salt and pepper

Bring the butter and 5/8 c. of the cream to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 1-1/2 minutes until slightly thickened. Meanwhile, cook the noodles to desired doneness in a lightly salted water. Add the olive oil to keep noodles from sticking together. Drain thoroughly and then pour the cream sauce over the top. Toss in the sauce over low heat. Add the remaining cream, the cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Toss to coat while heating through.
Serve immediately with more Parmesan and crusty bread.
