2 cups whipping cream
3/4 cup Parmesan, grated
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg or 1 teaspoon garlic powder

5 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese (for topping)

VARIATION:

GOURMET CRAB ALFREDO:
Substitute crab leg meat from 6 or so boiled crab
legs for the lump crabmeat. Boil crab legs for 3
minutes only.

TIP:
When boiling crab, add one tablespoon of
vinegar to the water. This helps to loosen the meat
from the shell

Servings: 4
