Pasta with ham and mushrooms in cream sauce.

Author.::.4zy

Today I suggest you a recipe of my favorite Italian cuisine. Pasta, traditional for the Italian cuisine, is used for cooking hot and cold dishes, hors-d'œuvres and even salads.

We are going to cook pasta with mushrooms and ham. We’ll need 250 g. of pasta (better of durum wheat semolina), i.e. half of the ordinary package; nearly 300 g. of fresh champignons (frozen champignons or other mushrooms of similar type may be used instead); 200 g. of ham and a small package (200 ml) of 10% or better 20% cream.

First of all start boiling pasta. While it’s getting ready, cut the mushrooms (half and half, then slice them into pieces 2-3 mm.). Fry them during 10-15 minutes; meanwhile cut the ham into long (3-4 mm.) straws (3-4 mm. thick) and add it to the mushrooms. Fry for 3-4 minutes and add cream. Fry for one more minute and turn off the gas. Add the sauce with ham and mushrooms to the prepared pasta and stir well.

Our Italian dish is ready :-)
