Easy Fettucine Alfredo

• 12 ounces fettuccine (regular or whole grain noodles)
• 12 cup softened butter
• 12 cup grated parmesan cheese (or a parmesan-romano mixture)
• 12 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons nonstick cooking spray
• 12 lb cooked ham (we've always used the lunchmeat kind, but the absolute orignal recipe says to use prosciutto)
• 1 (8 ounce) jar mushrooms
• to taste salt and pepper

1. Cook the noodles according to package directions.
2. While the noodles cook, combine the softened (NOT melted) butter, parmesan and/or romano cheese, and heavy whipping cream (I've always had the best luck putting them all in a free-standing mixer and leaving it running on a low/stir setting while I do everything else.
3. ).
4. Cube the ham.
5. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray; then, add the ham, allowing it to cook for about 5 minute on a low/medium heat setting.
6. Add the mushrooms to the skillet with the ham, and salt and pepper to taste, allowing them to cook together for about 2 minute longer.
7. When everything is finished, drain the noodles, and put them back in the pot (removed from heat); then, add the sauce, ham, and mushrooms.
8. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
