- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms (chop if large)
- 8 ounces diced ham (1/4-inch dice)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

Instructions
Following the package directions, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water. I generally add 1 teaspoon per quart of water. Drain and
While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, ham, and mushrooms when the butter begins to sizzle. Cook, stirring, for 4 to 6 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
Add the cream and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and parsley; bring to a simmer and simmer over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley and add salt as needed.
Toss the hot cooked fettuccine with the sauce and serve with extra Parmesan cheese.
