SMOKED HAM AND MUSHROOM PASTA
Skink- och champinjonpasta

This delicious pasta dish gets a nice and juicy flavour from mushrooms combined with smoked ham and veggies.

4 servings

14 oz pasta of your choice

1 onion
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
8 oz fresh mushrooms
1 small squash/zucchini
2 carrots
5 oz smoked ham
¾ cup plain yogurt, 3% fat
salt, coarsely ground black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh tarragon

Peel and chop onion and garlic. Melt the fat in a frying pan and sautée onion and garlic on medium heat until tender. Slice the mushrooms and brown them with the onion for about 5 minutes.

Boil the pasta.

Split the squash and scoop out the pips with a spoon and cut in very fine shreds. Do the same with carrots and ham, put the veggies in the pan and let them simmer in their own juices until crisp and heated through, approx 7 minutes. Add the ham.

Pour off any juices from the pan and blend in the yogurt. Put the pasta on plates and pour the sauce on top. Flavour with salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste and decorate with fresh tarragon. Serve immediately.

You can make this a vegetarian dish by substituting the ham with chick peas or sunflower seeds.

Enjoy!
