Instructions

  • 1.   How to make it?

    Cook the penne pasta in salted boiling water for about 8 to 10 minutes (or with a bouillon cube).
  • 2.   > While the pasta is cooking, in a saucepan, add the Beaufort cheese (grated or in small cubes for faster melting), the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Heat over low/medium heat, stirring, until the cheese melts and the cream is smooth. Let simmer very gently, stirring occasionally.
  • 3.   > Cut the ham into 1 cm wide strips and set aside on a plate.
  • 4.   > When the penne pasta is cooked, drain it and plate it with the Beaufort cream sauce and the ham strips on top.
  • 5.   > Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
  • 6.   > To change it up, replace the ham with sliced turkey fillets or shredded pork roast.
    You can also replace Beaufort with Cantal cheese.
