In large skillet, melt butter. Stir in sausage and fry until brown. Remove sausage and drain grease. Return sausage to skillet and stir in cream, wine, 1 tablespoon parsley, nutmeg and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Place pasta in heated serving dish and stir in 2 tablespoons of sausage mixture and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. Toss until pasta is coated. Pour remaining sausage mixture over pasta.
