{mushroom ham fettucine}

This is a great twist on a traditional fettucine recipe. I don't care for mushrooms, so I just leave those out, and it still works. Yum!

MUSHROOM HAM FETTUCINE

½ lb. thinly sliced fully cooked ham, cut into strips
1 c. sliced fresh mushrooms (you can leave these out)
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 T. plus ½ c. butter, divided
1-12 oz. package fettucine
1 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 c. sour cream
¼ tsp. pepper

In a skillet, sauté the ham, mushrooms, and garlic in 3 T. butter. Meanwhile, cook fettucine according to package directions; drain. Melt the remaining butter in a large saucepan. Stir in the fettucine, Parmesan cheese, sour cream, and pepper. Add the ham mixture; toss to coat.
Yield: 8 servings.
