Cream, Ham, and Mushroom Sauce

• 1 tbsp Butter
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 1 clove Garlic, or 2 if you like, minced
• 1 pints Heavy Whipping Cream, at almost room temp
• 1 tbsp Flour
• 1 box Sliced Mushrooms, or about 10 medium ones, thinly sliced
• 8 oz Cooked Ham, sliced
• 2 tsp Italian Seasonig, or season to taste with Oregano and Basil
• 1 Black Pepper
• 1 Sweet Paprika
• 1 Salt. I usually don't need it, the salt in the ham diffuses into the sauce, that's enough for me

1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan, add onions and cook until translucent.
2. Add garlic and cook until it becomes fragrant.
3. Add flour, stir well and cook until bubbly and golden.
4. Add cream, bring to a boil.
5. Careful not to overcook.
6. It will raise fast and cause a mess if one is not careful.
7. (Done it before)
8. Lower heat and let sauce simmer.
9. Add seasoning, pepper and paprika.
10. DO NOT add salt at this time.
11. When the sauce has thickened, Add mushrooms and ham.
12. Increase heat to a slow boil and cook until the mushrooms soften.
13. I like mine with a little bite left in them.
14. Season to taste with additional Italian seasoning, salt, pepper.
15. Serve over pasta, sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan.
