1. On a clean work surface, sift together the all-purpose flour and semolina flour. Create a well in the center.
2. Crack the eggs into the well, add olive oil, and sprinkle in the salt.
3. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs by mixing in a circular motion, pulling small amounts of flour into the well at a time.
4. Once the dough begins to come together, use your hands to knead it until smooth and elastic, about 8β10 minutes. Add a teaspoon of water if the dough feels too dry.
5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
6. After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece out using a pasta machine or rolling pin, starting with the thickest setting and gradually moving to the thinnest. Aim for thin, smooth sheets.
7. Cut the pasta sheets into 1/4-inch-wide ribbons to create the tagliarine. Dust lightly with semolina flour to prevent sticking and set aside.
8. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the tagliarine for 2β3 minutes or until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
9. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for 1β2 minutes until fragrant.
10. Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 2β3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
11. Add the cooked tagliarine to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
12. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
