Creamy Mushroom Ham Pasta a delicious, easy, creamy, pasta dish, Italian style. Ready in 20 minutes. Might just become your new Family Favourite!

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.

How to make Mushroom & Ham Pasta

In a large frying pan add olive oil, mushrooms, parsley, oregano, salt and water, cook almost covered on medium heat, stirring occasionally until mushrooms are cooked and water has almost evaporated.(about 10-15 minutes).

While mushrooms are cooking boil and cook the pasta al dente.
Once the mushrooms are cooked add the ham and combine.
Add the cream and flour and cook on medium high heat, stirring constantly until thickens.

Add the pasta, tossing gently, serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired.

This is a perfect weeknight, or even weekend meal. Great for family get togethers or when you are invited people for dinner. If you are looking for a Creamy Tomato Pasta then this is the one to try!

So when you are looking for a quick and delicious Pasta dish, I hope you give Mushroom & Ham Pasta a try. Buon Appetito!
