This was very good and easy to make. A good way to use up leftover ham. I added onion, garlic and mushrooms for more flavor. Served with a salad and this makes a great meal.

A very good recipe. A good sub for the very cream is evaporated milk which will make all alfredo recipes less costly and healthier without any sacrifice in taste.

I loved this, but the rest of the family...not so much. Even my son, who loves alfredo, did not care for this. It was a little salty. However, it was quick and easy.

In my opinion, and that of my husband, there was far too much sauce. I followed directions to a tee but the pasta and ham seemed to drown in sauce. I might try again using much less heavy cream, maybe even thin it a little with milk or table cream.

This was a great recipe. I followed everything pretty closely, but used penne instead of fettuccine and added 1/4 diced onions to the saute pan with the ham. I also added 1/2 cup of frozen petite peas after tossing the pasta and the sauce. The heat transfer from the sauce and pasta heats the peas perfectly.

This recipe is Amazing!! And soooo easy! I've made it a few times now. Making it exactly like the recipe states gives great results! But I also substituted sour cream and a little milk for the heavy cream once and it was just as good! -- My husband was NOT excited to try this, but after he did, he loved it! This is a new favorite in our house!

Everyone loved this - especially my two picky preteen boys. The only adjustments I made the second time was 1 C. cream and 1/2 c. lite sour cream (thickens it up a little more). Oh - and some garlic. Easy, great recipe.

I had the same problem reported by a few others - my sauce never really thickened.

Excellent sauce, very rich and satisfying. I've made it with and without the ham, and it's good both ways but I think it's less salty (and more pleasing to me) without the ham. This is a good recipe for a beginner, because it's so easy. I don't buy Alfredo sauce from a jar after finding this recipe.

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)

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.

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.

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.
