Perhaps the very best pasta dish I make. A rich, delicious, and soul-satisfying Italian recipe that is certain to wow your guests at any dinner party. Do not even begin to think about cooking this if you are looking for a low-fat, low-calorie, or in any way light meal. It ain’t happening with this one.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup dried morel mushrooms
- 4 slices chopped fully cooked ham
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 (10 ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes, drained and diced
- 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta, or more to taste
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place morels in a bowl. Cover with lukewarm water and soak for 30 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Place morels, ham, and prosciutto in a food processor. Grind to a coarse mixture.
Step 3
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the ham mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Stir tomatoes into the saucepan. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
Step 6
Fold cream into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and serve over linguine.
Cook’s Note:
To reduce calories, you can use turkey bacon in place of prosciutto, olive oil for the butter, and fat-free evaporated milk for the cream.
