Pasta al mascarpone

Pasta al mascarpone is an Italian dish hailing from Lombardia. It's a specialty of the Lodi area. The dish is made with maltagliati pasta, egg yolks, nutmeg, mascarpone, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. The mascarpone is whisked with egg yolks, salt, and nutmeg into a homogenous mixture. Some pasta water is added to the mix, if needed. The maltagliati pasta is tossed with the mascarpone mixture, with added grated cheese to taste. It's recommended to serve pasta al mascarpone in heated plates.
