- Ingredients
- 16 ozs Fettuccine
- 1 Tbsp good-quality olive oil
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- ¾ cup diced onions
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic cloves
- 0.333 cup cooked ham (diced)
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ¾ cup frozen, sweet peas
- ¾ tsp salt
- freshly ground Black pepper (to taste)
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan
- fresh parsley (chopped)
Preparation steps
1.
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions, stirring frequently, until al dente.
2.
Meanwhile, in a large 12-inch saute pan, set over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and the butter, stirring gently until the butter melts. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Place the diced ham in the pan and saute for 1 minute.
3.
Deglaze the pan with wine and cook until it is reduced, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, peas, salt and pepper and reduce the cream by half, about 4 to 5 minutes.
4.
Drain the pasta well and transfer to a large heat resistant bowl. Pour the sauce over the pasta and sprinkle with the cheese and the parsley. Toss gently with tongs until the pasta is coated with sauce. Serve hot.
