1 1/4 cups shredded swiss cheese |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
2 egg yolks, beaten |
8 ounces ziti pasta |

ground black pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 2 quart ovenproof casserole dish; set aside.

3. Meanwhile, bring half-and-half, basil, and crushed red pepper to a simmer in a heavy, large saucepan over medium high heat.
