Cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water according to the pasta package instructions. Drain in colander.
Return the same pot to the stove and turn the heat to medium-high, add cream. I recommend against using half and half instead of cream as your sauce may break. Add cream and cook for 1 minute exactly (set the timer!!) until it's reduced by about half, thick and bubbling. Remove from heat, stir in cheese and keep stirring until melted into creamy sauce. To prevent the sauce from breaking, add your cooked noodles immediately after the cheese has melted, and stir to combine. Season with pepper, nutmeg and more salt, if needed.
