Pasta recipe, ca. 1700s English

From a cookbook in my previous post. Recepts in cookery, copied from a M. S. Book belonging to Mrs. White of Stoney Lane, etc. England, 1700s, page 121.

To make Maccaroni

Take about half of a Handful of Macaroni, boil it till it is tender, take 5 or 6 Spoonfuls of Cream; the Yolks of 3 Eggs; put this into the Stew Pan & shake it up together till as thick as a Fricasee*; put it in ye Dish & put some old Cheese over it in very thin slices & brown it with a Salamander.



* I think that's the word.
