2. Meanwhile, in a sufficiently large pan, melt a knob of butter or warm a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
3. Add the cooking cream to the pan and heat on medium-low to avoid boiling.
4. When the cream is warm, add the grated parmesan cheese and mix well until it melts, creating a creamy sauce.

9. Serve hot with an extra sprinkle of parmesan if desired.

Curiosity

Creamy fusilli is a classic, simple first course but with a rich flavor, perfect for when you crave something comforting and quick to prepare. Nutmeg is a typical addition to cream-based sauces and contributes to a more sophisticated and warm flavor. For further personalization, you can add crispy speck, sautéed mushrooms, or vegetables to add more color and taste to the dish.
