The Recipe (3 days after I said I would post it)

Hi Friends,

Rachel the Vita Bella here to send you this yummy and delicious recipe for you to enjoy. I think the first time I had this was at a restaurant with my two older sisters during a trip to Chicago. Sister #1 was going to school up in the Windy City and Sister #2 and myself decided to go up and visit her for a weekend of sister fun...including getting hit on by about 4 Chicago Bears Football players...swooonn!

Anyways, following my pastalicious experience, on a trip to Italy when I used to work as a Group Tour escort, I  ordered it again but this time it included a few extra ingredients. And well from there I decided to combine the best of both worlds and make this pasta my own. I hope you enjoy it...

Pasta a la Vita Bella

(feeds 2)

 Featuring:

1 cup of Ham- (you can use bacon, proscuitto, pork sausage, whatever, but for this time I used ham)

1 Cup of thinly sliced Red onion (you whatever color onion you have, although I prefer the red in this recipe)

1 cup of sliced mushrooms (if you used cannned be sure to drain them)

1/2 cup of frozen peas ( you can use more-I actually am not a fan of peas, but love them in this recipe)

4 oz (or half a carton) Heavy Whipping cream (you can use milk and a little bit of flour if you don't have HWC)

1/2 bag of Fettucinne (I use brown rice fet. but any will do)

Parmesan Cheese

Salt 

Pepper

Olive Oil

 1. Boil a pot of water for your pasta-and salt the water

2. Heat up your frying pan to medium/high heat. Once it's hot add 2 TBSP of EVOO

 3. Slice up your pig & onion....pretty

 4. Once the oil is heated, add the pig, onion and mushrooms. Give the pan a toss like your on Iron Chef so the ingredients evenly cover the pan--don't forget to wink at the camera too!

5. In the meantime, because they say a watched pot never boils and a picture would only add ages along to that theory... imagine your water is boiling add the pasta and give it a quick stir, so the goods don't stick to the pot

 Once the pig, onion and mushrooms are cooked

6. Add the Cream and Peas. Give it a stir and let it bubble a little.

 7. As soon as it bubbles, turn off the heat and add a sprinkling of Parmesan Cheese.

8. With 30 seconds left, kick your soux chef out of the kitchen and take over! Drain the pasta, put it in pretty bowls, add the sauce and garnish with lovely basil leave.

9. Smile at Alton Brown, claim the title of Iron Chef and enjoy Pasta A La Vita Bella!

the end.
