Ingredients:
1/2 lb spaghetti
2 teaspoons olive oil
500 g mushrooms, sliced ( I used cremini)
3 slices extra-lean ham, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons onion-flavoured cream cheese dip ( Philadelphia brand)
salt
pepper
Directions:
Put large pot of water to boil; add salt and pasta.
Meanwhile, saute mushrooms in olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add ham pieces and heat through.
Keep mushroom/ham mixture warm while pasta cooks.
When pasta is al dente, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water and drain rest.
Add butter and mushroom mixture to pasta pot.
Stir in pasta and cream cheese dip; to thin the “sauce,” add the pasta cooking water.
Mix well and serve immediately.
