Ingredients

½ cup Unsalted butter 1 stick
1 cup Heavy cream
2 Egg yolks
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
1 ½ tablespoon Cajun seasoning optional
½ pound Deli ham about 8 slices, thinly sliced into strips (or leftover baked ham, thinly sliced)
2 Zucchini 2 small or 1 large zucchini, shaved into ribbons with vegetable peeler or sliced very thin with knife
2 Roma tomatoes diced
¾ cup Parmesan shredded; divided
8 ounces Fettucini noodles cooked in salted water

Instructions

In a large skillet, combine the butter, cream and egg yolks and whisk until smooth, cooking over low heat.
As the butter melts and the mixture becomes thickened, add seasonings to the sauce while whisking continuously. (Take care not to boil the sauce or leave unattended.)
Mix the thinly-sliced ham and the zucchini ribbons to the sauce.
Add the diced tomatoes and the shredded Parmesan. Stir until cheese melts.
Add drained noodles to the sauce and stir until well coated.
Optional: Garnish with additional black pepper and Parmesan.
Serve with crusty bread and side salad.

Notes

*You can boil fettuccine in separate pot while you prepare the sauce. Drain noodles well before adding to the sauce skillet.
