Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente, drain and drain.
Fry the ham cubes in olive oil and soon add the garlic. When the ham cubes are nicely seared, add the sage, plucked as desired, whole or cut. Reduce the heat, stir and deglaze with the cream. Add the salt, a pinch of nutmeg and the processed cheese. Stir until the cheese has dissolved.
Put the pasta on a plate and pour the sauce over it.
