• 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

1. Put large pot of water to boil; add salt and pasta.
2. Meanwhile, saute mushrooms in olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add ham pieces and heat through.
4. Keep mushroom/ham mixture warm while pasta cooks.
5. When pasta is al dente, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water and drain rest.
6. Add butter and mushroom mixture to pasta pot.
7. Stir in pasta and cream cheese dip; to thin the "sauce," add the pasta cooking water.
8. Mix well and serve immediately.
