My dad has been making this for years with Prosciutto, but I couldn't master the recipe until recently. I recommend imported prosciutto it has a sharper taste. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (one full stick) |
18 -24 ounces of fresh fettuccine pasta (refrigerator section of grocery store) |
2 prosciutto ham, slices cubed imported (1/4 inch thick) |
2 tablespoons cream cheese (i used 1/3 the fat and it was fine) |
1 pint heavy cream |
2 -3 cloves fresh garlic, chopped fine |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
2/3 cup fresh grated romano cheese, & parmesan cheese combined |
1 -2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 -2 teaspoon lemon juice, as needed |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in sauce pan.
2. Add 2-3 cloves of garlic to the butter.
3. Sautee prosciutto in pan with no oil until browned.
4. Add cream cheese whisk until chunks are melted.
5. Add heavy cream.
6. Whisk and blend.
7. Add grated cheese.
8. Whisk until melted.
9. Add nutmeg.
10. If cheese is too thick add lemon juice to separate the cheese to blend with the cream.
11. Add ham to sauce, let stand for 15 minutes, whisking every few minutes.
