Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 6-8 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups chopped ham
- 1 (17-ounce) bottle double cheddar sauce (Ragu)
- 1/2 (15-ounce) jar nacho cheese dip
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 (16-ounce) package fettuccine pasta
Preparation:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and ham; cook and stir 4-5 minutes longer until tender.
Add pasta to water and stir. Then add sauce, cheese dip, and milk to mixture in skillet. I use the milk to rinse out the bottles of sauce so you get it all out. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer while the pasta cooks.
When pasta is done, drain and place on serving plate. Spoon sauce over and serve immediately.
