Carbonara w/a Twist

My last post was about an experiment gone well, actually, great is a better term, hurhur. This one is not exactly an experiment but it was also done to maximize the benefits of an increase in our supply of Christmas ham, teehee.



Ingredients:

• pasta noodles (any kind will do)
  
• all-purpose cream
• ham, cubed (I used a honey-cured one)
  
• green peas
• corn kernels
• butter
  
• dried basil
  
• ground black pepper
• fish sauce/salt
• water

Procedures:

• Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Rinse and set aside.
• In medium heat, melt a quarter (of a bar) of margarine in a pan.
• Roll, not fry, the ham cubes in butter.
• Pour the all-purpose cream, add a bit of water and blend it all together.
  
• Add the seasonings - fish sauce or salt, ground black pepper and dried basil.
  
• Put the green peas and corn kernels last, stir and simmer until you get your preferred consistency.
• Taste test and do the necessary revisions, if there's a need to.
• Leave the sauce in low heat, drop the pasta noodles and toss.
  
• And you're done, let it cool for at least 15minutes, to make sure that the sauce are all stuck to the noodles, and then serve.
• I think, it will be great with garlic bread, sadly we have none *pouts*.

I think, I am Italian in my past life, with my obsession with pasta and all, hahaha.
