Fettucine Carbonara - fast easy winner

 When we have leftover ham I always make this dish.

best pic online I could find ~ This is my daughter Olivia's most requested meal as a child.  She loves fettucine and white sauces.

12 oz. package fettucine

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1/3 cup sliced green onions

1 small can mushrooms

8 oz. package of cream cheese

1 1/4 cup milk

1 1/2 cup julienne cut ham

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Cook Fettucine noodles.  In a large sauce pan sauté mushrooms and onions in the butter for 5 minutes.  Add cream cheese  and milk. Continue stirring over medium heat until thickened.  Add ham and parmesan cheese.   Pour over the noodles and eat right away.

I believe it's called Carbonara since it's not a cream sauce but you use cream cheese and milk to create a thicker creamy sauce which comes together no fuss easy like, and tastes great.
