Pasta with creamy Ham sauce

Who does not love a cream sauce with ham combined with some short pasta?

It is no Alfredo sauce, it is no Carbonara!

The combination is pretty simple. Just use cooked ham, some greenery, cream, eggs and cheese.

The right cooking method is the way to a perfect dish.

Recipe for 2:

225 g short elbow pasta- eggless

100 g cooked ham, 2 egg yolks, 65 g Grana Padano, 200 ml double cream

1 green onion, 2 young garlic cloves, 1 tbsp butter

Pepper, parsley, smoked paprika

Grate the cheese, separate the eggs and use only the yolks.

Cook the pasta in salted water. Chop onion and garlic and saute them in butter for 4 min. Cut the ham slices in smaller chunks. Add them to the pan.

After 3 more min dump in the cream and season with pepper and paprika.

Mix the yolks with 2/3 of the cheese and add 1/4 cup of pasta water to it. Loosen it up.

Drain the pasta, put in the pan and get that off the heat. Dump all the egg and cheese mix over it and stir until you have a creamy sauce. Finish with parsley.
