Directions:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta; preheat oven to 500°.
- Cut the ham into long 1/2-inch wide strips, then cut crosswise to make 1- to 1 1/2 inch long pieces (you should have about 1 cup).
- Toss in a large mixing bowl; add in the peas, Pecorino Romano, 1/2 cup of the Grana Padano, cream, and salt; mix together.
- Add just enough grated nutmeg for a good whiff to reach your nose.
- Your want to flavor the cream discreetly.
- Fold it into the mixture and add more salt if necessary.
- Generously salt the boiling water and drop in the pasta.
- Cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes.
- The pasta will be parboiled and too hard to eat; it cooks further in the oven.
- Drain the macaroni, reserving 1 cup of the water, and transfer the pasta to the mixing bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup pasta water and toss again; there should be abundant liquid surrounding the pasta; add more water if it looks too dry or too thick.
- Transfer the pasta and its sauce to individual shallow baking dishes or to 1 or 2 shallow baking dishes.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes (check halfway through baking time and drizzle with more pasta water if necessary), until bubbly hot with a few browned noodles on top.
- Serve right away with the remaining Grana Padano passed at the table.
