Fettuccine with Mint, Peas, Ham, and Cream image

The mint enhances all the flavors and adds its own wonderfully fresh touch. Any variety of ham can be used instead of the Parma.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 leeks, (about 4 ounces), white parts only, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
1 cup heavy cream
3 ounces cooked Parma ham, cut into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound fresh or dried fettuccine
1 cup small mint leaves, or chopped large leaves

Steps:

  • Place sliced leeks in a small bowl of cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to rid them of dirt and sand. Lift sliced leeks out of water, leaving sand behind, and drain well. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add leeks and garlic, and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add chicken stock, cream, ham, and peas; season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce cook until it is reduced by half, stirring frequently until it has thickened, about 6 minutes.
  • Salt the boiling water, add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 4 minutes for fresh. Drain fettuccine, and return to pot. Add sauce to fettuccine, and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with the mint, and serve.

This dish was a bit bland. I think it needed more garlic or onion.

Amazing! This recipe is a keeper. The mint and peas add a unique and refreshing flavor to the classic fettuccine Alfredo. I'll definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less ham next time.

I thought this dish was just okay. The flavors were a bit muddled and the sauce was a bit too thick. I think I'll stick to my regular fettuccine Alfredo recipe.

Overall, this dish was a solid 4 out of 5. The flavors were good, but the texture of the sauce was a bit off. I think it needed to be cooked for a bit longer.

This dish was a bit too rich for me. The cream sauce was a bit heavy and the ham was a bit salty. I think I'll try it again with a lighter sauce next time.

Delicious! I've never thought to combine mint and peas in a pasta dish before, but it works surprisingly well. The mint adds a lovely freshness to the dish.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauce turned out lumpy. Not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper, or maybe some other herbs or spices. The mint flavor was also a bit overpowering for me.
