Preparation Boil the pasta. Heat the cream and add the diced, cooked ham. Dilute the saffron in a little water and add. Bring to the boil. Remove it from the fire and add the two raw egg yolks, stirring energetically.

The Chef's tips Orvieto is a 12 to 12.5 dry white wine with a strong fragrance to be served at 10 to 12°C
 
Curiosity Saffron is one of the most expensive spices there are in existence at the present time and is used with parsimony, however a little goes a long way to add fragrance and taste to this recipe.
