Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten-free pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz ham, diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup gluten-free chicken broth
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced ham. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the ham is lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream and gluten-free chicken broth. Stir well and let the mixture simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 6
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 7
Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta thoroughly with the creamy ham sauce.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Step 9
Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese on the side, if desired.
