  • Parmesan cheese4Tablespoons

Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 5

    Start by boiling the pasta. Meanwhile, put the butter in a large enough saucepan to later hold the pasta as well and heat it; before the butter starts to fry, add the diced cooked ham and let it brown over moderate heat for about ten minutes.

  2. STEP 2 OF 5

    Immediately after, dice the emmenthal and set it aside.

  3. STEP 3 OF 5

    When the pasta is al dente (it will take about 10-12 minutes), drain it well; put it in a saucepan with the cooked ham and let it absorb the flavors for a couple of minutes, stirring continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

  4. STEP 4 OF 5

    Then, moisten it with half a glass of cream, add the emmenthal, and leave it on the heat just long enough to soften the cheese.

  5. STEP 5 OF 5

    Shortly before removing from the heat, sprinkle the pasta with parmesan and parsley, then transfer everything to a preheated soup tureen, sprinkle with grated truffle, and serve immediately.
