Pasta with Ham, Napa Cabbage, Carraway, Cheddar and Gruyére (Hamapalooza #2)

After a deeply satisfying Easter dinner, we now begin the great Hamapalooza of 2015 with a truly wonderful pasta...

I brown-fried about 1/2 C onions, not chopped, but sliced into very thin half-moons.  Then I added about 1/2 C thinly sliced Napa cabbage, 1/2C chopped ham, 2t carraway seeds, some smoked salt, and pepper.

After sautéing  for a few minutes, I added a splash of white wine and 1/3 C cream.  When the pasta was almost done, I added it to the sauce with a splash of pasta water.  Once it was ready to serve, I added 1/2 C of shredded Cheddar and Gruyére...

This really is a game-changing pasta...  Try it!
