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!
