Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten-free pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz ham, diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup gluten-free chicken broth
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced ham. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the ham is lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream and gluten-free chicken broth. Stir well and let the mixture simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta thoroughly with the creamy ham sauce.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese on the side, if desired.
