Linguine with Mushrooms & Ham
Mushroom, onion, and garlic make a great base for this creamy pasta sauce,
but it gets even better with the addition of sliced ham and a touch of
basil!
Yields: 4 servings
1 (8 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/4 pound cooked ham, julienned
1 teaspoon fresh basil leaves, chopped
freshly ground black pepper
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine pasta,
and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain. Melt butter in a
saute pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, garlic, and mushrooms in
butter until tender. Reduce heat, and slowly stir in cream. Continue cooking
until sauce has thickened, add ham and basil, and simmer for 10 more minutes.
In a large bowl, toss linguine with cream sauce, and season with freshly
ground black pepper.
