About Spaghetti with ham and cream sauce
Spaghetti with Ham and Cream Sauce is a rich, comforting dish rooted in Italian-inspired cuisine. It combines tender spaghetti pasta with a creamy sauce made from heavy cream, butter, and grated Parmesan cheese. Diced ham adds a savory, smoky flavor, while black pepper and nutmeg bring warmth and depth to the dish. Sometimes garnished with parsley or fresh herbs, this meal balances indulgence with simplicity. While it offers a delightful combination of protein from the ham and calcium from the cheese, this dish is calorie-dense and high in saturated fats due to the cream and butter. Its refined spaghetti base provides quick energy but lacks the fiber found in whole-grain alternatives. To make it lighter, one could use leaner ham, substitute cream with a reduced-fat version, or opt for whole-grain spaghetti. Ideal as an occasional treat, this dish satisfies cravings for creamy, savory comfort food.
