How to Make Sarasota S Ham Pea Penne In A Fontina Cheese Sauce
- Cook penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup diced leftover ham and 1 cup frozen peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup grated Fontina cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour the cheese sauce into the skillet with the ham and peas. Stir in the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water until the sauce is creamy and coats the pasta.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional).
- **Optional:** Serve with balsamic grilled portabello mushrooms (see recipe below):
- - Slice 2 large portabello mushrooms and brush with balsamic glaze.
- - Grill or pan-fry until tender and slightly caramelized.
- - Serve alongside the pasta.
