For the Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped into tiny pieces
minced garlic - 4-6 clove
4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper (I would use white pepper if you have it)
For the Pasta
fresh fettuccine, two packages (about 1#) or linguine, noodles- from the refrigerator section two packages (about 1#)
4 quarts of water to boil pasta
1 tablespoon salt (optional in water)
To top the finished product
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon nutmeg (optional for decoration)
fresh ground pepper

1
Heat butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onions and garlic in butter.
2
Stir in whipping cream; heat to boiling.
3
Stir in Parmesan cheese.
4
Reduce heat. Simmer the sauce uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
5
Heat water and 1 tablespoon salt to boiling in large kettle, add fresh fettuccine. Boil uncovered 2 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente (tender but firm). Begin testing for doneness when fettuccine rise to the surface of water.
6
Drain fettuccine. Do not rinse. Pour the sauce on the pasta and stir together, dish into servings and top with a little extra Parm and a pinch of nutmeg to make it pretty. Serve with pepper.

I usually serve this with blackened chicken breast and broccoli to add some kind of nutritional value. :) NOTE: I've tried to make this recipe with 1/2 and 1/2 and it's not nearly as good -- sorry calorie counters. It's OK to splurge once in a while.
