1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 250 grams of tortellini and cook according to package instructions, typically around 5-7 minutes until they float to the top and are al dente.

2

While the tortellini cooks, in a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt 30 grams of butter.

3

Once the butter is melted, add 200 milliliters of heavy cream and stir well. Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.

4

Add 50 grams of grated parmesan cheese to the cream sauce, and stir until melted and smooth.

5

Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, stirring to combine.

6

Once the tortellini is cooked, drain it and add it to the cream sauce. Toss well to coat the tortellini evenly in the sauce.

7

Serve immediately, garnishing with extra parmesan cheese if desired.
