"An excellent cream sauce surrounding delightful cheese-filled pasta. It does not get any better than this.
I must admit this dish satisfies both of my roots: The French with the cream and the butter. The Italian with the pasta and parmesan cheese.
The nutmeg: is loved by both countries and plays a key role in this dish."
