Ingredients
- 1 pound fettuccine noodle dry
- 2 cups peas frozen
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic finely minced, cloves
- 1 ½ cups milk I used 1%, lowfat
- 1 (8-ounce) (8-ounce) package cream cheese cubed, light or regular
- 8 ounces ham thinly sliced, deli-style
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- In a large pot, boil the fettuccine according to package directions. Add the peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta and peas in a colander and set aside.
- While the pasta is boiling, in a large 12-inch skillet or a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the cubed cream cheese, whisking or stirring until it is well combined with the butter and garlic and the mixture is relatively smooth.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and continue stirring and cooking until the mixture is bubbly and hot, 1-2 minutes. Remove the skillet or pot from the heat and stir in the ham and Parmesan cheese.
- Return the pasta and peas to the large pot they cooked in and pour in the sauce. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with black pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
