This pasta recipe is a comforting, and simple dish fit for any weeknight supper. Sometimes I feel like adding cream to a sauce is cheating since nothing with heavy cream is ever bad. However, I love the richness which cream brings to a sauce, not only that but in this recipe the ham, mushroom, and pepper flavours are really enhance by the cream.
