Boil 2 quarts of water, add salt and sprouts. Boil uncovered for about 5 minutes. You want to keep the sprouts on the crunchy side. Drain sprouts, discard cooking water and dry the pot.
Heat olive oil in the pot, add garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute for 1 minute. Add sprouts and nutmeg. Saute for 1 more minute. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss with the sprouts until the cheese slightly melts. Enjoy!!
