Made with Shullsburg Creamery Smoked Gouda, Honey Ham Sticks and Italia Shredded Parmesan

Ingredients:

• 1lb spaghetti or similar pasta noodle
• 1 TBSP olive oil
• 4 Shullsburg Creamery Honey Ham Sticks, diced
• 6 eggs
• ¾ cup Shullsburg Creamery Smoked Gouda
• ½  cup Italia Shredded Parmesan
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. 1. In a large pot, begin cooking the noodles according to package instructions.  When draining, reserve one cup of cooking water.
   2. While your pasta is cooking, dice your honey ham sticks into bite-sized pieces. Grab a skillet and heat it on low, adding the oil and tossing in those diced ham sticks to warm them up.
   3. While your ham is heating, you can prep your egg and cheese mixture in a medium sized bowl.  Carefully separate 4 of the eggs, using only the yolks, and then combine the additional 2 eggs with the shredded Gouda, shredded Parmesan and your desired level of salt and pepper. (At this point, your pasta should be just finished cooking, and you can temper your eggs by gradually adding ¼ to ½ of the reserved cooking water to the mixture.)  Whisk until mixture is thoroughly combined.
   4. Turn your burner up to medium-low and add your pasta to the skillet, tossing until noodles are coated and ham is evenly distributed, adding the remaining cooking water as needed.
   5. When the pasta noodles are nice and hot, quickly remove skillet from burner and add your egg and cheese mixture, tossing and stirring continuously for a few minutes.  Allow the mixture to coat the ham and noodles thoroughly.  You’ll start to see the cheese melt and the eggs cook just enough to form a sauce.
   6. Top with additional parmesan and salt and pepper season, then serve immediately.  We recommend pairing a nice Pinot Grigio with this meal for those over 21.
