- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream/whipping cream
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 1 cup colby/jack cheese grated
- 1 cup 4-Italian cheese blend grated
- 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 16 ounces pasta shape of your own choosing. (I used gemelli.)
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Grease a large casserole dish (9"X13" pan).
3. Cook pasta according to instruction for your chosen shape al-dente. Toss pasta in olive oil when finished to prevent sticking.
4. Combine cream, half-and-half, egg yolks and nutmeg in a good-sized sauce pan over medium heat. Let this get warm. Add the cheeses, holding back just a little for the top. Stir frequently until all cheese is melted (about 10 minutes), being sure not to let it boil (boiling causes the cheese to "break" and gives it a distinct broken-down rubbery feel). Add Worcestershire sauce and pepper.
5. Place pasta in the casserole dish, and coat with melted cheese mixture. Stir to make sure everything is well-coated.
6. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
7. Bake for 15 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
8. Enjoy!!!
