Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cups chopped ham
• 1 (17-ounce) bottle double cheddar sauce (Ragu)
• 1/2 (15-ounce) jar nacho cheese dip
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 (16-ounce) package fettuccine pasta

Preparation:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and ham; cook and stir 4-5 minutes longer until tender.

Add pasta to water and stir. Then add sauce, cheese dip, and milk to mixture in skillet. I use the milk to rinse out the bottles of sauce so you get it all out. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer while the pasta cooks.

When pasta is done, drain and place on serving plate. Spoon sauce over and serve immediately.
