Ingredients:





     1 lb Angel hair pasta


          Water


     3 tb Olive oil


     3    Cloves garlic -- finely


          Chopped


     1    Head broccoli, separated


          Into flowerets


     2    Red bell pepper -- diced


     2 c  Heavy cream


     1 c  Parmesan cheese -- grated


   1/8 ts Nutmeg


          Salt and pepper -- to taste


          Parmesan cheese -- for


          Serving






 Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water for 4 to 6 minutes, or until just


 tender.   Drain the pasta and toss it with 1 tablespoon of the oil to keep


 it from sticking together, then keep it warm. Heat the remaining 2


 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Add the garlic and saute it lightly;


 do not brown. Add the broccoli flowerets and peppers, and saute over medium


 heatuntil tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.  Remove the vegetables from the


 skillet. Add the cream to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and


 simmer until it starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese


 and nutmeg, and cook an additional 2 minutes to thicken it a bit more. Add


 vegetables and the cooked pasta. Toss them together well. Season with salt


 and pepper if needed.  Serve immediately, with additional Parmesan on the


 side.
