- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
- 1/2 stick butter, melted

- Drain pasta and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- In a large bowl, mix together eggs, evaporated milk, melted butter and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Stir in 3/4 of the cheese and add the pasta.

Nick adds a bread crumb topping but won't even share that part of the recipe with me! This is his treat to me when he makes it so I can't know all of his secrets!
