Sprinkle a small amount of flour over the onions (about a tablespoonful should suffice) to absorb the fat. Continue to cook until you begin to detect a biscuit like smell.
Lower the heat and mix in the milk and the heavy cream.
Sprinkle over a pinch of nutmeg and pepper. In the other pan, cook the pasta in the boiling water for 6 minutes.
