Ingredients
- 1 pound long fusilli
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup finely chopped chervil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1 1/2 ounces)
- Cook the fusilli in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Meanwhile, in a large stainless steel bowl, whisk the cream with the egg yolks. Stir in the chervil, chives, parsley and tarragon and season with salt and pepper.
