Melt the butter slowly in a heavy pan, add garlic and saute for a few
minutes, do not brown garlic. Remove garlic and discard. Slowly incorporate
cream or light cream into butter with a wisk. Season with salt, pepper and
nutmeg.
Add cooked pasta and 3 tablespoons of cooking liquid to butter and cream
mixture and toss so the pasta is coated.
Remove from heat and add Parmesan by the hand full, you don’t have to use
all of the cheese.

Variations:
I like to use reconstituted porcini or shitake mushrooms added just before
the pasta. Too Good!
