Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. In a large kettle bring 2 quarts water to a rolling boil. Add pastas. Cook, uncovered, for 8 minutes. Add mushrooms, peas, and green onion. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes more until pasta is al dente and the vegetables are just tender. Drain well.
  2. Meanwhile, for cheese sauce, in a saucepan combine milk, cornstarch, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and ham. Combine pasta mixture and cheese sauce. Toss to coat.
  3. Makes 6 side-dish servings.
