Spicy Pasta de la creme

Faith and Neil just introduced me to Habanero Cheese from Costco this past week. Boy, is it REALLY good, and Hot.  I thought I'd put some in my lunch yesterday. 

Ingredients:
1 Link of Italian Sausage, cooked
8oz elbow macaroni
1/3 Cup Frozen peas
1/4 inch slice of Habanero Cheese off a large brick
1/4 Cup of Whipping cream
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp of Frozen mixed Onions and peppers
Salt and Pepper to taste


Directions:
Cook macaroni to package directions, drain and keep warm.
Put Peas and onions in a microwave safe dish, (I use Pyrex clear measuring glasses)and add enough water to just cover. Microwave 2 1/2 minutes or until hot. 
In a small pot, add whipping cream, butter, and habanero cheese over medium heat.  Stir occasionally until cheese melts.
Taste sauce, then add salt and pepper.
Slice sausage. Add Macaroni, sausage, peas and onions to your cream sauce. Stir and enjoy!
