“This is one of our favorite pasta dishes. I use honey ham from the deli and it really gives the dish good flavor. For reheating leftovers, add a little extra cream and simmer over medium low heat on stove.” - by SWEET-UMZ

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/4 pound cooked ham, julienned
1 teaspoon fresh basil leaves, chopped
freshly ground black pepper
