Cup of Yum
Make the alfredo sauce:
- Heat a large skillet (a pan with sides) over medium heat. Once hot, melt the butter on the hot skillet. Add the garlic, and sauté for about one minute, stirring so it doesn’t burn.
- Pour the cream and milk and stir, add the grated cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) and combine. Reduce the heat to low, add the chopped ham, and simmer the Alfredo sauce for about 5 minutes.
Combine:
- Add the pasta to the Alfredo sauce. Toss to combine and coat all the pasta with the Alfredo and ham sauce. Serve it with additional Parmesan cheese on top.
