Ingredients

1 pound penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup finely diced white onion or cooking onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon dried chili flakes
1 cup diced ham, 1/4-inch/0.5 cm
3 cups thinly sliced button mushrooms
2 cups 35% cream
2 cups peas, fresh or frozen
1 ½ cups shredded smoked Canadian Cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 pinch Salt and black pepper

Directions

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook penne according to package directions until tender, but firm. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in another large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring for about 3 minutes or until tender and fragrant. Add garlic and chili flakes and cook, stirring for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add ham and cook, stirring well, for 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until water is starting to release from mushrooms. Increase heat to high and cook, stirring for about 5 minutes longer or until water is evaporated and mushrooms brown lightly.
Pour in cream and bring to a simmer, stirring often (don't boil it). Reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly reduced. Stir in peas and heat through (if using fresh peas, simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender).
Add drained pasta and cheese to pot and stir to mix well. Stir in parsley and lemon juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips

When seasoning "to taste," everyone's palate is different and may need more or less salt and pepper.

The smoked Canadian Cheddar can be substituted with smoked Canadian Gouda or aged Canadian Provolone.
