  • Add garlic and herbs, cook till fragrant and light brown.
  • With a slotted spoon remove meat/veggies from pan and drain in a paper towel lined bowl or in a fine mesh colander.
  • Drain oil from pan, deglaze pan with wine, add more if necessary.
  • Cook till alcohol smell is gone.
  • Add half-and-half; bring to a simmer.
  • Add cheeses and stir until cheeses are melted and sauce is thick, add meats and season to taste.
  • Adjust to desired thickness with more cheese, some Wondra flour or more cream.
  • Serve over pasta.
  • Variations:

  • Don't stress out about having all fresh herbs and meats for this dish.
  • I make it to clean out the frige of leftover lunch meats and cheeses.
  • You can use dried spices (start with 1/2 the amount), add more or less meat as desired.
  • Try it with any sort of red meat that you want, the taste will vary slightly, but the overall look and feel will be the same.
  • You can make this with regular milk, be sure not to boil the mixture as the milk may curdle.
