QUICK AND CREAMY HAM FETTUCCINI
This elegant and easy Creamy Ham Fettuccine is Angie Smith's own version of an old Italian favorite and has earned top honors with friends and family. "It's my most requested dish," notes the Clarksville, Tennessee cook. "I really like the thicker texture of the sauce, which is great with any hearty pastas, such as whole wheat tortellini or penne-and I sometimes add peas for extra nutrition."

PENNE AL BAFFO (CREAMY TOMATO-HAM PASTA)
"Al Baffo" is said to be the abbreviated version of an Italian expression "da leccarsi i baffi," which translates to "it is so good you'll lick your whiskers," because the sauce is abundant, thick and creamy. Tomato, ham and cream come together in this simple pasta sauce to form a comforting and easy weeknight meal. Cooked ham (as Italians call it, "prosciutto cotto"), is a hearty addition, as it provides texture and necessary salt. This recipe calls for deli ham, but you can substitute prosciutto or even pancetta if the mood strikes. An extra shower of Parmigiano before serving is a must for this filling meal.

Steps:
- Cook farfalle in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain, reserving 2 Tbsp. pasta cooking liquid.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add shallots and 1/2 tsp. salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes (do not brown). Add ham, peas, and cream. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lemon zest, 2 Tbsp. parsley, and 1/2 tsp. pepper.
- Return pasta to pot. Toss with sauce and reserved pasta cooking liquid; season with salt and pepper. Divide among plates, then top with parsley and Parmesan and season with more pepper.
Tips:
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. This will help prevent the pasta from becoming mushy when it is mixed with the sauce.
- Use a good quality ham. The ham is the star of this dish, so it is important to use a ham that has a good flavor. Look for a ham that is smoked or cured, and that has a nice pink color.
- Use a flavorful cheese. The cheese is another important ingredient in this dish, so it is important to use a cheese that has a lot of flavor. Some good options include Parmesan, cheddar, or Gruyère.
- Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked just until it is thickened and creamy. If you overcook it, it will become too thick and gloppy.
- Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This creamy ham fettuccine is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with simple ingredients that are likely already in your pantry, and it can be on the table in less than 30 minutes. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the ham and peas add a nice touch of protein and vegetables. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
