- Noodles Ham and Mushrooms
Savory noodles with ham and mushrooms.
These savory noodles are the perfect pairing of classic umami flavors – the salty smoke of cured ham with the meaty, earthen quality of mushrooms, and woodsy bite of fresh chopped rosemary.
This elegant dish gets its creamy texture and nutty tang from melted provolone and grated parmesan, and a simple sauce with white wine and Dijon mustard.
This is easy to prepare, with straightforward ingredients, but chic enough to serve at your next dinner party. It’s also a great way to use up leftover ham.
Use cremini mushrooms, or substitute for one of your own favorites, like Shiitake, Oyster or King Oyster mushrooms.
Whatever mushrooms you have on hand will shine in this one skillet entrée. Serve with crusty French baguette and crisp green salad dressed in mustardy vinaigrette.
For wine pairing – a dry white wine like Pinot Gris (especially from Oregon or Alsace), Pinot Grigio, dry Riesling, Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, or a French Chablis (from Burgundy). For reds, a soft medium-bodied wine – like Pinot Noir (from Chile or Oregon).
