Fettuccine Carbonara

I didn't take a picture because I didn't think it was going to be very good, but it turned out okay, so here's the recipe. --Patrice

1/2 lb (8 oz) fettuccine, uncooked
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup light Caesar dressing
1 tbsp flour
1 cup milk
6 oz chopped ham
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Cook pasta as directed on package.

Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, dressing, and flour in small saucepan with wire wisk until well blended. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until mixture is well blended. Add ham; cook on med-low heat 5 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Drain fettuccine mixture; return to saucepan. Add sauce and peas; mix lightly. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Top with parsley and parmesan cheese.

Makes 4 servings.
