PASTA WITH A ROSE SAUCE

250g Linguine pasta
100ml of Panna Da Cucina or heavy cream
1/2 can of peas
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
4 or 5 mushroom, thinly sliced
1/2 tbsp butter
2-3 slices of cooked ham, coarsely chopped
1 cup of tomato sauce
salt & pepper (optional)

In a skillet put mushrooms, onions & butter on medium heat. Sauté until soft. Then add peas and ham for about 10 minutes to incorporate all the flavours. Then add the tomato sauce & panna for another 10-15 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes. Taste to see if it needs salt or pepper. Keep it on a simmer until pasta is done.

In the meantime, in a large pot add water and salt. Once water is boiling add the linguine pasta. Cook until al dente. Drain and put it back in the pot, then add the rose sauce and mix together. Serve hot!
