Fettuccine With Mushrooms and Cherry Tomatoes

"While sifting through my recipe clippings, I came across this yummy dish I had not made in years. It has a rich, but not heavy, creamy sauce chock full of tasty things I almost always have on hand : cream cheese, ham, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms. The sauce is rather thin in consistency, if you prefer a thicker sauce you may either add more Parmesan cheese or let it sit and thicken off the heat a bit as the pasta cooks."

  • Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and the white pepper; return to heat on low and keep stirring until cheese has blended and melted -- adding more if you prefer a thicker sauce.
  • Give it a taste test and add salt and a bit of dried hot red pepper flakes (or cayennne pepper if you prefer), more pepper if you like.
  • Toss the sauce together with the fresh hot drained pasta and serve immediately.
