When I want a filling meal that even the kids enjoy, I toss ham and sugar snap peas with Romano cream sauce and pasta.

Ingredients

• 1 package (16 ounces) fettuccine
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1-1/2 pounds sliced fully cooked ham, cut into strips (about 5 cups)
• 2 cups fresh sugar snap peas
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup grated romano cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add ham and peas; cook and stir 5 minutes. Stir in cream, cheese and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 1-2 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened and peas are crisp-tender.
2. Drain fettuccine; add to skillet and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
