Linguine Recipe?

Question

We had a luncheon at church yesterday and someone brought a tasty linguine dish. It had linguine noodles, ham, peas and some kind of spices. She told me that she got it from a magazine she was receiving but I do not remember which one.
I think she said southern living or something like that. But I would like to get the recipe cause my family liked it. Can someone please help? Thanks!

Answer 2

Oh! You should have asked her for the recipe! I'm sure she would have been flattered and more than happy to help.

Here's a version of Linguine w. Ham & Peas that I have. If you don't like mushrooms you can leave them out.

Ingredients
8 ounces Linguine
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 Scallions, including tops, thinly sliced
8 oz Mushrooms, thinly sliced
6 oz Ham, cut into matchstick strips
1 1/4 cup frozen baby green peas
1 cup cream
3 whole cloves
garlic, minced
freshly ground black pepper
freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Method
Cook the linguine according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a deep skillet over moderate heat . Add the scallions and garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute 3 minutes longer. Add the ham and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the peas, cream, and pepper, raise the heat to high and boil, uncovered for 3 minutes or until slightly reduced. Remove from heat. Drain the linguine and add to the skillet along with the cheese and toss lightly. Serve with additional cheese on the side if desired.
