- Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
Kosher salt
8 ounces shell pasta
1 cup evaporated milk
2 large eggs
2 cups grated havarti cheese (about 6 ounces)
1 1/2 cups grated Colby jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
Pinch of grated nutmeg
1/4 cup sour cream
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
- Combine the evaporated milk, eggs, havarti, Colby jack, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Add the pasta and sour cream to the sauce; toss to coat, then let sit 5 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly. Add the reserved cooking water to loosen, if desired.
