- Serves:

4
ingredients
- 12 ounces fettuccine (regular or whole grain noodles)
- 1⁄2 cup softened butter
- 1⁄2 cup grated parmesan cheese (or a parmesan-romano mixture)
- 1⁄2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons nonstick cooking spray
- 1⁄2 lb cooked ham (we've always used the lunchmeat kind, but the absolute orignal recipe says to use prosciutto)
- 1 (8 ounce) jar mushrooms
- to taste salt and pepper
directions
- Cook the noodles according to package directions.
- While the noodles cook, combine the softened (NOT melted) butter, parmesan and/or romano cheese, and heavy whipping cream (I've always had the best luck putting them all in a free-standing mixer and leaving it running on a low/stir setting while I do everything else.).
- Cube the ham. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray; then, add the ham, allowing it to cook for about 5 minute on a low/medium heat setting.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet with the ham, and salt and pepper to taste, allowing them to cook together for about 2 minute longer.
- When everything is finished, drain the noodles, and put them back in the pot (removed from heat); then, add the sauce, ham, and mushrooms.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy!

I'm a simple house cat just trying to make my way in this world. Cooking is difficult sometimes without opposable thumbs, but, hey-- what else do I have to do between naps when my humans aren't home? ... I mean, "meow."
