Straw Hay Pasta

My Grandma gave me a few of her cookbooks when I was first married.

I guess she thought I needed to learn how to cook - She was right!

I absolutely loved the Anne Willan's Look and Cook books because they give step by step directions with illustrations for each step. I really needed that when I began cooking.

This recipe for Straw Hay Pasta came from one of her books. Of course she mades the noodles from scratch - I just buy the noodles at the store.

Straw Hay Pasta

Sauté one medium white onion in butter

Add diced mushrooms

4 oz of ham, chopped

(you can order a salad slice of ham from deli so it is nice and thick and ready to chop).

3/4 cup of sweet peas

Sauté these items a few more minutes.

Then add:

1 cup heavy cream

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tbs honey

black pepper to taste

finely grated parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top

Bring sauce to a boil and then let simmer about 3-4 minutes.

Serve over Fettichini Noodles

I think I will submit this recipe to Ruth for her Weekly Presto Pasta Night Event.
