I love this meal! I have made it many many times and each time I fall in love with it all over again. I have recently begun making it as a dinner to take over to friends who have recently given birth. Each time I have made it, the mom has requested the recipe. So here it is for all you new moms out there!
Enjoy!
Leftovers Pasta
1 lb pasta
1 cup ham
1 cup Andouille sausage
1 cup corn
1 cup peas
1 pint heavy cream
1/4 cup parmesan
1/4 cup asiago
2 tablespoons garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 teaspoon oregano flakes
1 teaspoon basil flakes
salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste
Heat large pot with salted water for pasta, but don't add the pasta yet.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, add olive oil and saute ham and sausage for 2-3 minutes.
Add 2 tablespoons butter and melt. Add peas, corn, garlic, basil, oregano, and a few heavy pinches of salt and pepper. Saute for another 2-3 minutes.
Add cream and remaining 2 tablespoons butter, stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Finally add cheeses and simmer for a few more minutes. Add garlic salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low and cover while you cook the pasta.
Cook's Notes:
I usually make it without the peas and corn because my husband can't stand them. It is delicious either way. Also, sometimes I omit the butter and double the cream. I love the extra sauce and in my head it equals out (well not really but it's a start). Lastly, I have never used Andouille sausage. I usually use mild italian sausage instead or just double the ham.
