I read the other reviews before I made this recipe, and everyone was totally right! This was so simple, and easy I didn't even feel as if I was cooking. A great way to use up left over ham. I imagine it could be made fancier with added veggies, or spices, but why complicate a very easy, satisfying meal!

I wish I would have diced the ham smaller. I thought the amount of ham the recipe called for was conservitive until I dished it out to the family. 6oz. of ham was just right for our two big eaters and two small eaters. Also took another reviewers advice & made it all in the same pot (after placing the pasta in the strainer)

Add 2 cups of peas even though kids don't like them.

Used FHarrison's version.Excellent!

Very, very easy and good! I used one pan for even easier clean-up. I boiled the pasta (as per others suggestions I reduced the amount of pasta. Also used shredded parmesan out of the can instead of grated) and while that was cooking I cut up the ham. After pasta was done, I drained and left in strainer then I used the same pan to cook the ham and then added the pasta back to the pan and heated thru. The ham/sauce doesn't take more than a few minutes. Sooo easy to throw together and on the table in 20 minutes. Very good! Thanks for the recipe!

Simply awesome. And I mean that literally. This is an extremely SIMPLE recipe--unbelievably easy to prepare--with an awesome flavor, far better than I expected. The sauce reminds me of the Sicilian sauce at Valentino's, a popular midwest restaurant, which originated in Lincoln, Nebraska. I used freshly grated Parmesan, which is the only way to go. This was an excellent way to use some of the leftover Honeysliced ham from the holidays. Don't let the idea of ham in pasta sauce scare you away. It's far better than you might think. Do note: As at least one other reviewer has suggested, you only need 3/4 of the pasta in a one pound package. There isn't enough sauce for the full pound of pasta. The pasta really soaks up the sauce.

made this the other night for dinner, how delish....

This recipe was terrible. The sauce never thickened - until 30 minutes after mixing with the cooked fettuccine. Even then, the taste was terrible - did not even serve to family. Don't waste your time on this one, like I did.

Used a little less pasta (because we like things saucy :) and added some pressed garlic to the butter/ham. It was excellent.

I tried this because of all the great reviews. Sorry, but I didn't like this at all. Fettuccine alfredo goes much much better with chicken than ham. I used leftovers from a delicious spiral ham I had made ... wish I just would have heated up the ham instead. I won't make this one again, but it might just be my taste is different than the other reviewers. It wasn't exactly bad ... just wasn't good.

Excellent recipe. I tried it as is, and then tried it substituting Sour Cream for heavy cream, and liked that even better. I also added peas and fres muchrooms. Very yummy!

Pretty good - nice way to use up ham. The cream scared me so I subbed in a can of chicken broth and some 2% milk. Used quite a bit of minced garlic, some red pepper flakes and threw in some frozen green peas.

I worked at an Italian Kitchen quite a few years ago and every Sunday the owner's wife would make a dish just like this one. She had a little drizzled eggs in hers, which I also added when I made it...needless to say, this recipe was TO DIE FOR!

this was great! easy! quick! A good weeknight dinner. next time I may add some red pepper flakes to add a little more zest! Thank you!

This is an outstanding fettuccine! I sauteed equal parts ham and onions with butter and garlic, and added both to the noodles and sauce. It has a very rich flavor and reheats well. YUM!

This recipe was great! Couldn't have asked for an easier meal to prepare and fast too. Great use for leftover spiral sliced ham. Even my very picky four year old ate it. Found it to make more than the four servings noted, a pound of pasta goes a long way. Thanks for posting this one!!

Was very good, and i used up my leftover ham. We're seafood lovers so i added shrimp too as crazy as that sounds.....

Excellent! Added diced canned mushrooms with ham and a touch of minced garlic. Absolutely Fabulous!! First time I've ever made resteraunt quality pasta in my own home!
