  • Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions, until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of the water used to cook the pasta.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots until soft. Add the cream and wait for it to boil, reducing the sauce a bit, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Return the pasta to the pot it was cooked in and turn the heat to medium-high along with the reserved liquid. Add the cream and butter mixture and half of the Parmesan cheese (½ cup). Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the diced ham (optional) and the remaining Parmesan cheese. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
