Fettuccine with Ham and Peas

From Southern Living

Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic, crushed (I used jarred, minced garlic)
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 pound thinly sliced cooked ham/shredded ham/little diced ham pieces
1 cup frozen English peas, thawed
12 ounces uncooked fettuccine
1/2 cup butter, softened (just place it on your counter before cooking. I usually use half a stick of butter instead of the whole stick.)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
Boil water for fettuccine. Cook according to package directions, omitting salt.

Saute garlic in 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in shredded ham and peas. Saute ham and peas over medium to low heat until the fettuccine is done.

Drain fettuccine well. Place fettuccine in a large serving bowl. Add the 1/2 cup (or 1/4 cup, your choice) softened butter to the bowl and stir the fettuccine and butter until the butter has completely melted. Add the parmesan cheese and sour cream, stirring to coat well.

Fold ham and pea mixture into fettuccine mixture gently. Add pepper and toss gently.

Yield: 6 servings
