Pasta with Cream, Ham and Green Peas

Yesterday we made this dish, adapted from www.adishofdailylife.com , for dinner using our Fresh Durum Semolina Pasta.  The sauce took about 30 minutes to make and was enough to sauce 6-8 servings of pasta.

3 Tbs. butter

1 large yellow onion, diced

1 large clove garlic, finely chopped

3 cups ham, cut into little cubes

ΒΌ cup dry white wine

2 cups heavy cream

1 Tbs. grainy Dijon mustard

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups frozen peas

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and saute the onions until translucent.  Add the garlic and ham and cook until the ham is browned.  Add the white win and cook until the wine is nearly evaporated.  Stir the mustard into the cream and add to the skillet.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has slightly thickened.  Stir in the Parmesan a bit at a time until it is absorbed.  Add the peas and cook for about a minute.  Serve as a pasta sauce.
