The starch in the water clinging to the drained pasta helps thicken everything nicely, and the heat from the pan eliminates that puddle of water that forms in your serving dish. <br /><br />(It was fun meeting you at Malice. Did the lucky winner who wasn't me ever get her books?

The fascinating part to me is pouring the cream over it all at the very end instead of cooking it with something. Love it and will definitely try it!<br /><br />Congratulations on your new series.

Believe it or not--and as an Italian I find this hard to believe--two ounces of dry pasta is considered a "portion." When you add the ham, spinach, and cream, one quarter of the recipe here is actually a moderate portion of food. How 'bout we split the difference and say it feeds 3 comfortablyRosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18227816471665255882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-3549651469008797172013-06-09T14:27:30.421-04:002013-06-09T14:27:30.421-04:00A winning combination of flavors.

I enjoy making pasta for my family but, having a son who doesn't always like cooked tomatoes, it gets disheartening to see him dragging off bits to the side.<br /><br />This sounds like a recipe that will leave dishes scraped clean, no doubt!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing it, Rosie.
