"I loved the pasta and learned to make this rich dish from frequent restaurant visits," she notes from Waveland, Mississippi. Tip: Valerie recommends preparing it with spinach fettuccine if it's available at your supermarket.

Steps:
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well. To make the garlic parmesan cream sauce, melt butter in the skillet skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, thyme and basil. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in half and half and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more half and half as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in spaghetti, ham and peas, and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
PASTA WITH MINT AND PARMESAN
The pairing of pasta with mint and Parmesan is a good one. There is something about the lightly assaultive yet somehow sweet nature of mint that is unlike any other herb. Older cuisines use it occasionally, but it is rarely seen as a major player. In this dish, however, softened by butter and cheese, mint converts a basic but undeniably heavy combination into an easy yet complex pasta dish best described as refreshing. To the inevitable question, Can I use olive oil instead of butter? my answer is that you can, but you will completely change the nature of the dish; it won't be bad, but it won't be as good. Better, I think, to cut the butter back to two tablespoons. But because this sauce is cut with the pasta cooking water, the butter is spread nicely throughout, and it really isn't a huge amount per person.

PASTA WITH HAM, PEAS, AND CREAM
A pasta dish kids love and one that became traditional with mine whenever we left them with a sitter for the evening. It's best if the ham is prosciutto, the cream thick and fresh, and the peas just shelled, but it's pretty good with supermarket ham and cream and frozen peas, and I've made it that way plenty of times. For variety, add about a cup of sliced button mushrooms to the ham mixture.

Steps:
- Bring both a large and a small pot of water to a boil; salt them both. In the small pot, cook the peas until tender, 3 or 4 minutes. Drain and set aside. Put the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat; when it melts, add the ham and cook for about a minute. Stir in the peas, the cream, a pinch of salt, and a fair amount of black pepper. Turn the heat to low; keep warm, stirring occasionally, while you cook the pasta.
- Cook the pasta until tender but not mushy; drain, reserving about a cup of the cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the cream mixture; if it seems too thick, add a little of the reserved cooking water. Stir in the Parmesan, taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the perfect doneness of pasta, which is slightly firm to the bite.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the pasta, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
- Use a large skillet: When you're making the sauce, use a large skillet so that you have plenty of room to stir the ingredients.
- Season to taste: Always season your food to taste. This means adding salt, pepper, and other spices until the food reaches your desired flavor.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine with Mint, Peas, Ham, and Cream is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy sauce, tender pasta, and flavorful ham and peas, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
