Angel Hair Souffle
4 ounces angel hair pasta
8 egg whites
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup prosciutto ham, finely diced (see note)
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper sauce
Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a 2-quart souffle dish. Cook and drain
pasta according to package directions. In a large mixing bowl, beat 6
egg yolks with electric mixer until thick and lemon colored, approx 5
mins. (This may also be done in a food processor.) Stir in Parmesan
cheese, ham, pepper, red pepper sauce and cooked pasta. In another
mixing bowl, beat 8 egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold about 1/2 cup
of whites into yolk mixture to lighten it, then fold yolk mixture
carefully into whites, using a rubber spatula and being careful not to
over mix. Pour mixture into a prepared souffle dish. Smooth the top,
then draw a circle with your finger or a knife on top of souffle about 2
inches from rim of dish. This causes the center to rise higher than
sides and forms a cap. Bake at 375° for 20 to 25 mins. Serves 4. NOTE:
Domestic or imported prosciutto is available at specialty markets and
delicatessens. Boiled ham may be substituted.
