Fettuccine With Ham, Mushrooms and Cream image

This comes from one of my cookbooks I've had for awhile. It is a pasta book that covers how to make home made pasta- all kinds. I generally pull this out during the holiday's when I'm stuck on what else can I do with the leftover ham.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb fettuccine (dried or fresh)
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 chopped onion, finely diced
4 ounces ham, cut into thin stips
3/4 lb fresh white mushroom, cleaned and diced
salt and pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Boil water and add noodles cooking until al dente.
  • Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until golden brown.
  • Add ham and continue cooking until lightly colored (1-2 minutes).
  • Raise heat to medium high and add mushrooms. Season lightly with salt and pepper (be careful with the salt since the ham is already salty).
  • Continue cooking stirring occasionally until all the water that the mushrooms give off has evaporated (4-5 minutes).
  • Pour in cream and cook, stirring frequently unti it has reduced by half.
  • Remove skillet from heat.
  • When pasta is cooked, drain and add it to the skillet, tossing to coat noodles.
  • Add grated cheese and sprinkle with salt and pepper once more before serving.
