Creamy Ham Fettuccine

This is a simple and quick meal that you can easily make extra of and reheat it for later. Plus, the broccoli makes this meal a little more nutritious.

Oh, believe me it still tastes just as good the next day. I brought some to work and had 3 people try to eat it.

Creamy Ham Fettuccine

*Serves 6

1lb Fettuccine

3 Tablespoons finely chopped onion

1 teaspoon minced garlic

3 Tablespoons butter

2 Tablespoons flour

3 cups milk

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

2 cups cubed fully cooked ham

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large sauce pan melt butter and saute onions and garlic until soft. Add flour to create a roux. Slowly stir in milk a little at a time, whisking to get rid of any lumps. Bring to a boil stirring constantly.

Add broccoli, reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered for 7-10 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Stir in ham, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Drain pasta and top with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
