Directions

  1. Slice the cooked ham into thin strips. Gently bring the cream to a simmer in a saucepan, watching carefully as it heats up quickly, then add the ham and crab meat.
  2. Reduce the heat so the sauce doesn’t boil, then add a little milk.
  3. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions.
  4. Bring the sauce to a boil until it thickens and becomes creamy, with a slightly golden hue, so that it is ready at the same time as the pasta. ≈ 3 min
  5. Season with salt and pepper, arrange the pasta in the plates, and then pour the sauce over it before serving. ≈ 2 min
