This rich-tasting dish is ready to serve in almost the time it takes to cook the noodles. I've made it for luncheons and potlucks, but mostly I make it on days when I'm in a hurry to get something on the table.

Ingredients

• 5 to 6 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1-1/2 cups chopped fully cooked ham
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Gradually whisk in cream. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes longer.
2. Add the ham, cheese, onions, salt and pepper; cook, uncovered, until heated through. Drain noodles; add to ham mixture. Toss to coat; heat through.
