Four- Cheese Pasta With Peas & Ham

My mouth was watering every time I would stir this dish.  I thought this meal was super good and so did the rest of my family...even my picky son :o)

Four-Cheese Pasta With Peas & Ham
(from the Food Network Magazine December 2011 issue)
Ingredients:
12 ounces penne pasta
1 cup frozen peas
2 large eggs, plus 1 egg white
1 cup evaporated milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 cup fontina cheese
3oz diced ham
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
salt
Directions:
Bring pot of water to a boil.  Add penne pasta and cook until super al dente (about 8 minutes).  Add peas the last 2 minutes of cooking.  Whisk eggs, egg white, evaporated milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl.  Drain pasta and peas and wipe the pot dry.  Put pasta and peas back in pot and add the egg mixture and cheese.  Turn on burner to medium-low and constantly stir for about 8 minutes making sure the egg doesn't scramble.  Take off heat and serve.  ENJOY!
