Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Drain. Stir 2 cups of the cream and the lemon juice in a heavy large skillet to blend. Add the butter and cook over medium heat just until the butter melts, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the pasta and toss. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream, and Parmesan to the cream sauce in the skillet. Add the lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper. Toss the pasta mixture over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
PASTA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS
The key to giving a portobello (or any mushroom) dense texture is to cook it slowly in oil so that most of its moisture is driven out. My biggest successes came in taking whole mushrooms and cooking them, covered, for as long as two hours. Nearly as good, however, and more than twice as fast, is to cut up the mushrooms and cook them in oil, uncovered, for 30 to 45 minutes. At that point, you not only have fabulous mushrooms, which you can use in a pasta sauce, as I do here, or to top salads or stir into rice dishes, but you also have very good-flavored oil. To further improve the mushrooms' flavor, I like to use the trick popularized by Marcella Hazan: add a few reconstituted dried porcini to the portobellos.

Steps:
- Trim hard parts from mushrooms and discard. Rinse mushrooms quickly to remove grit; cut caps into slices and stems into small chunks. Combine in a medium skillet with 1 clove garlic (crushed and peeled), thyme, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Cook over sufficiently low heat so that mixture bubbles but mushrooms do not brown. Continue to cook, stirring infrequently, until they are quite shrunken in size and appear firm, 30 to 45 minutes. (At this point, you can pause for several hours before resuming cooking.) If you are using porcinis, soak them in hot water to cover for a few minutes so that they soften.
- Set a large pot of water to boil for pasta and salt it. Mince remaining garlic. Turn heat under oil to medium, and add garlic to the portobellos along with the drained porcinis. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to color. Add tomatoes and raise heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they break up and become saucy, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Taste sauce and adjust its seasoning. When pasta is done, drain it, toss with sauce, top with Parmesan, and serve.

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain; set aside.
- Remove brown gills from undersides of mushroom caps using a spoon, and discard gills. Chop mushrooms.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for ripe, colorful vegetables, and use fresh herbs whenever possible.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the mushrooms, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are tender: This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more enjoyable to eat.
- Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: This is the key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to choose one that you enjoy. You can also make your own Alfredo sauce if you prefer.
- Serve the dish immediately: This is a best when served hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it gently in a saucepan over low heat.
