1- With a good knife, lengthwise, thinly slice your chard whites to the width of tagliatelles.
2- In a saucepan, pour your water and liquid cream, season with salt, freshly ground pepper and nutmeg zest, bring to a boil then add your "tagliatelles", cook for 8 minutes then stop cooking, cover and keep like this for 10 minutes.
3- Drain your tagliatelles then return the juice to reduce for 5 minutes, then pour in your Parmesan stirring well, return your tagliatelles to it, just bring to a boil and serve in deep, very hot plates then at the last moment sprinkle small strips of Parma ham on each.
