My family loves this recipe, and it's a great way to use up leftover ham. Although a meal by itself, I often serve it with a tossed salad. —Cathy Neve, Yakima, Washington

Tip

Cheddar Tip

Select sharp cheddar when using packaged shredded cheese from recipes that you’d like to have a bolder flavor. If you will be shredding cheese at home from bulk cheddar, you can choose from mild, medium, sharp and extra sharp.

Full-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a full-bodied white wine such as Chardonnay or Viognier.

with just 1 1/2 cups of fettuccine, can this really feed 5 people

This is one of the best recipes I've ever made. Unbelievable flavor from such a short list of ingredients.

Very rich in flavor. I added pepper, garlic, onions, mushrooms, spinach.

This was a delicious meal for my hungry teenage athletes and husband! I used Panko instead of the regular breadcrumbs and would probably not cook them in butter next time to save those calories. To use a whole pound of fettuccine, I doubled everything, except that I only used three cups of ham and that was plenty. I used 2% milk and low fat sharp cheddar (yellow was what I had on hand) and it was still very rich and yummy. Doubled like this, it would also be a terrific potluck dish.

I made this last night and it was pretty good but thought the sauce could have been better. I added sliced baby portabella mushrooms and about 1/8 cup chopped onion (sauteed in butter first). If I make this again, I'll probably use half and half instead of milk (or half of each) and maybe add a little garlic, too.

This was delicious ...I added black pepper and a little more milk to thin it out to make creamier. I added aprox a 1/2 box of the cooked fettuccine to the pan ...a little at a time till I was happy with the amount. I will make again!!!

This was delicious...I made a few changes though. I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 olive oil when making the sauce, to cut some saturated fat and add some flavor depth. I also sauteed some onions in the butter/olive oil before adding the flour. I used a combination of cheeses I had on hand, including the sharp white cheddar, cottage cheese, and romano cheese. It's a great way to use up leftover cheese. I also added some fresh cracked pepper to the sauce before mixing it all up.

This was really good. Even the picky eaters in my family enjoyed this meal.

I served the peas on the side because my oldest daughter doesn't care for them. This dish is delicious! It's a quick yummy dinner with ingredients you already have on hand. It's a keeper for my family!
