I am (was) a stay at home Mom, which also means that I made a “mediterranean lunch” every day for myself, my husband and daughter(s) for many years. 

An Italian Mediterranean dish consists of a Pasta Dish, a main course (Fish, Meat, Fritatta or Cheese Plate) with a vegetable, could be a salad, a simple side dish, for example Peas or even Green Beans or how about Roasted Vegetables.

which I have to say, is one of everyone loves, but of course it also depends on what veggie is in season.

I was first introduced to this Mushroom & Ham Pasta by my sister-in-law quite a few years ago. It’s fast and easy and is perfect when you have some leftover cooked ham.

  • While mushrooms are cooking boil and cook the pasta al dente.

        Just made this for dinner. It was quick and easy, creamy but not too rich. My husband loved it. The recipe serving was perfect for just the two of us. It’s a keeper,
