How to make Penne with Parmesan Cream and Prosciutto

Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 191°C.

Bring cream, 350ml cheese, 3/4 teaspoons black pepper, and 3/4 teaspoons salt just to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, until al dente, then drain in a colander. Return pasta to pot, then stir in parmesan cream and prosciutto, tossing to coat. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart shallow flameproof gratin or baking dish (about 11 by 8 by 2 inches; not glass) and bake 15 minutes.

Stir pasta well to coat evenly with sauce, then sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cheese.

Turn on grill and grill pasta 4 to 5 inches from heat until top is lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
