From the Jamaica Inn in Dunedin (near Tampa). I like to use 3-color rotini to add a little more color. Ingredients:
12 ounces rotini pasta |
1/4 cup butter |
1/4 lb smoked ham, julienned |
1 large carrot, julienned |
1 small zucchini, julienned |
1/2 cup mushroom, sliced |
1 cup whipping cream |
1/2 cup swiss cheese, grated |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
1 pinch nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling water until tender but still firm to bite.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add ham, carrot zucchini, and mushrooms; saute until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
4. Add cream and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
5. Combine cheeses in small bowl.
6. Add to sauce by handfuls, stirring until melted after each addition.
7. Stir in nutmeg.
8. Drain pasta.
9. Add to sauce and toss to coat.
10. Transfer pasta and sauce to large bowl.
11. Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese and parsley and serve.
