Contrary to Dell Harper's r
eaction, this is a quick and tasty weeknight dinner option that comes together in a flash, and mainly uses ingredients that one has on hand. It's from this month's Martha Stewart Living also.

Stove Top Pasta and Cheese
Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 slices rustic bread, such as ciabatta, trimmed of crusts and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 pound angel hair
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 ounce Parmesan, finely grated (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 ounce sharp cheddar, finely grated (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Directions
Pulse bread in a food processor until coarsely ground (you should have 1 cup). Toast breadcrumbs in a large skillet over medium heat, tossing, until golden and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and add 1 T butter, tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted water until al dente, according to package directions.
Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, both cheeses, cream, and mustard in a bowl.
Return pasta to pot and add egg mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring, until sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Add remaining butter and toss until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, topped with breadcrumbs.
Comfort food at its finest!
