Stir in the heavy cream and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce coats the pasta, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy, about 1 minute. If it starts to get too thick, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the pasta reaches the desired consistency.
