4 cups Pre-cooked pasta
1 cup sliced
Italian ham (Optional)
2 cups 32% cream
1 or more cups of Powdered Parmesan cheese
(depends on how thick you like it...)
4 tablespoons Butter
1 teaspoon or more crushed Garlic
2 tablespoons finely diced onions
4 tablespoons or more chopped parsley
(optional garnish)
Black pepper
Add butter, garlic, pepper, onions to
cool pan and let warm. Once onions and garlic start to cook;
ham and cook for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cream and 1/2 cheese.
Let simmer for about 2 minutes on
med. high heat. Add pasta, balance of cream and most
of cheese (leave a bit for a garnish)
and heat until boils. Let boil for about 2 minutes; let
stand for about 1 minute. The cheese melts into the cream and
you have a very, very nice, very, very
rich Alfredo cream sauce. Garnish
with chopped parsley and serve with garlic
toast and a green or Caesar
salad.
Quick and easy
Garlic toast
You already have butter, garlic,
parmesan cheese and parsley left over
from the recipe above.
Make sure your oven is set to
"broil"; or high heat on the
top elements. Take 4 tablespoons
of butter, 1/2 teaspoon of diced garlic
a pinch of parsley and heat in the
microwave for 45 seconds, or until
liquid. Spread over any type of
white bread (baguette is best of
course..it does not absorb the oil
quickly; you want to spread the garlic
butter and heat immediately before it
gets too soggy) and heat on
"broil" on the top rack of
your oven until golden brown; Sprinkle
with parmesan cheese and serve
immediately.
