Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan, add the cream and bring to a boil.  Boil 5 minutes to thicken.  Turn off the heat.  Add the pasta and half the cheese to the pan and stir in.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Add some of the pasta cooking liquid if the sauce is too thick.  Divide the pasta among plates and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
