Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package linguine
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 (10 ounce) package frozen English peas, thawed
1 (4 ounce) package ham, sliced, cut into thin strips
1/2 cup swiss cheese, shredded (2 oz, I usually use another oz!)

Steps:

Cook the linguine according to package directions. Drain well, and set aside.
Saute onion in butter in a large skillet until tender. Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant. Add flour, and stir until blended. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is slightly thickened and bubbly. Stir in salt and pepper.
Add peas; cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Add ham; cook until thoroughly heated.
Remove from heat; add cheese, stirring until the cheese melts.
Place linguine and sauce in a large serving bowl, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
