Do you remember recipe boxes? I have one from when we were first married. Magazine and newspaper clippings. Lots of handwritten recipes copied from cookbooks taken from the library. Am I dating myself?
Well, this recipe is from that box. I do not know where the recipe is from.
It received rave reviews from the other side of the table.
Ingredients-
3 oz Ham sliced in strips, or squares
1 leek
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 chicken broth
1/2 cup parmigiano
1/2 cup peas, if frozen, thawed (these were omitted tonight)
Method-
Wash the leeks using only the white parts.
Slice leeks very thin. Add to the skillet with oil.
Cook until soft.
Add 1 tbsp butter, then peas, ham, heavy cream, chicken broth, and cheese.
Reduce to a sauce consistency
Add cooked pasta to the sauce with 1/2 cup of pasta water. Let this simmer for a few minutes.
