  1. Excellent dish! My boyfriend made this for us last nite and he thought it was really easy to do. I liked the crunchy topping especially. There were a ton of leftovers, so we both have lunch today. We used the fat free 1/2 & 1/2, still turned out nice and creamy. Tuna could also be substituted for the ham next time.
     
  2. This was fabulous. I was looking for recipes to use some fresh rosemary from the garden, so I used fresh instead of dried. I also used the last of some deli ham instead of smoked ham, since that is what I had on hand. It was so delicious, I wish it wasn't so high in fat, I would have it every day!
     
  3. Yum! I received some ham steaks during the holidays and was looking for a recipe to use them as well as some leftover whipping cream. This recipe is definately a find. Everything tasted very good together and the pepper and rosemary were very light undernotes to the pasta and ham. Very decadent comfort food. I am looking forward to many days of delicious leftovers. Thanks so much for posting.
     
  4. Sorry....didn't really care for it....not saucy enough for our liking.
     
  5. This was phenominal! Very easy and tasty! I incorporated some chopped plum tomatoes for color. It was even better a day later for re-heats! Thank you for sharing this recipe! LA :-)
