Hello Friends!

Spring has Sprung! While I realize that the weather may not feel like spring where you are, at least we know it is coming. When a new season starts, I love to embrace and welcome it with flavors and produce of the season. While we are still enjoying some of the comforting recipes like chili and casseroles, it is time to lighten the meals up a bit for spring.

This Ham and Spinach Fettuccine recipe is sort of a lighter version of Fettuccine Alfredo with ham and spinach thrown in. I do not put heavy cream in it to keep the calorie content lower. This recipe is also great when you have leftover ham from Easter. We always have ham leftover and as much as I love ham sandwiches, they do get old.

This Parmesan Ham Fettuccine is delicious, flavorful and delightfully easy! It also only takes about 15 minutes to put together. It makes a nice weeknight dinner, lunch or brunch recipe too.

    It's a perfect meal. I like it warm for dinner and even as a cold pasta salad. Ham is pretty versatile like that!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
