Fettuccine Alfredo

5 tablespoons sweet butter

½ yellow onion, chopped

3 slices prosciutto, cut into small pieces

8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms

2 garlic cloves, minced

¼ teaspoon white pepper

2 cups heavy cream

½ cup grated parmesan cheese

¾ cup mozzarella cheese

½ cup frozen sweet peas

Half recipe fettuccine noodles (recipe follows), cooked

In a large skillet, melt butter and saute onions, prosciutto and mushrooms until the onions are translucent. Add garlic, white pepper and cream and bring mixture to a simmer, stirring regularly. Add parmesan and simmer 10 minutes, stirring regularly; the sauce will begin to thicken at this point. Add mozzarella and stir constantly until the sauce is a consistent and smooth texture, 3-5 minutes.Add peas and pour over cooked fettuccine noodles.Serves five to six.
