12 oz (375 g) fettuccine
3 cups (750 mL) broccoli florets
1 cup (250 mL) whipping cream
1/4 cup (50 mL) butter
1 cup (250 mL) grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
Pinch nutmeg
Preparation:
In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta for 6 minutes. Add broccoli; cook until pasta is tender but firm and broccoli is tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain well and return to pot.
Meanwhile, in saucepan, bring whipping cream and butter just to boil. Reduce heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg; add to pasta and toss to coat.
