Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 1 cup ham
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, dice the ham into small cubes and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham begins to brown slightly.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and frozen peas. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted, and the peas are heated through.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring the noodles are fully coated in the creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
