Cook fettuccine in well salted, boiling water to al dente, according to package directions, about 10-13 minutes.
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add cream; bring to a boil; immediately lower heat to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook 7 minutes, until sauce begins to thicken. Remove saucepan from the heat; add grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg and pepper, to taste. Stir until the cheese is completely melted.
Immediately serve tossed with the cooked fettuccine and a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
