This recipe is inspired by the delicious local Italian food I grew up with in Brooklyn, NY. It's a very kid-friendly recipe and great for picky people. Whenever I serve this, people always ask for seconds or thirds.

Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth; mix well and simmer for 5 minutes, making sure not to boil. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, white wine, garlic, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
