One of my own personal top 10. The straw and hay is the combination of fettucini and spinach noodles. Wonderfully tasty dish! From Family Circle magazine way back in the 80s.

1 dash nutmeg
1 dash sage
fresh ground pepper
1 cup heavy cream, divided
boiling water

1. In medium skillet, sauté onions and garlic in 1/4 cup butter until onion is golden.
2. Stir in ham, mushrooms, basil, salt, nutmeg, sage, thyme and pepper; sauté 3 minutes.
3. Stir in 1/2 cup cream.
4. Cook, stirring until slightly thickened.
5. Remove from heat and set aside.
6. In large deep skillet, melt remaining butter over low heat, blend in remaining 1/2 cup cream.
7. Add pasta; toss lightly to coat with sauce.
8. Add 1/2 ham and mushroom sauce and Parmesan cheese.
9. Toss thoroughly.
10. Make a well in the center of the pasta; pour in remaining ham and mushroom sauce.
