"This pasta has a delicious garlic cream sauce which is a fabulous base for the mushrooms and proscuitto. Definitely comfort food at its best and quick gourmet, which is what I love to cook!"

ingredients

2 cups chicken broth
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried red pepper
3 minced garlic cloves
1 ¹⁄₂ cups whipping cream (you'll need 1 pint container)
1 tablespoon butter
12 ounces sliced mushrooms, chopped
12 ounces pasta (your favorite kind)
8 slices deli prosciutto or 8 slices ham, chopped
¹⁄₂ cup grated parmesan cheese

directions

While water is heating to cook the pasta, bring the broth, garlic, cream, and red pepper to a boil in a separate saucepan.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes to allow it to thicken.
You'll know it's thickened when the cream coats the back of the spoon.
Remove from heat.
Cook pasta; while it's cooking, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add mushrooms and proscuitto; cook until tender, about 10 minutes, and then remove from heat.
Drain the pasta and place it back into the same pot.
Add the cream and the mushroom/proscuitto mixture.
Stir over low heat until the pasta is mixed with the sauce and all is warmed.
Toss with the parmesan cheese.
Cover and let it stand for 1 minute, and then transfer to your favorite pasta bowl and serve.

I've always been inspired by gourmet cooking but hate the time and huge ingredient lists required so I'm continually on the lookout for recipes which are quick and easy to make but taste gourmet. And I love anything that can be made-ahead so that when it's dinner time, I can relax. Being that I'm not so great at creating my own recipes, this site is perfect for me -- and has finally helped to limit my cookbook buying!
