Ham Carbonara

I have a plethora (good word, huh?) of ham this season, so I've been messing around with new ways to use it up - I think this one is a keeper! Anyone else have some good ham recipes?

Total preparation time - about 30 minutes.

INGREDIENTS

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup stick butter, melted
2 egg, beaten
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the onion and mushrooms in oil. Add the ham, broth and butter; heat through.
Drain pasta; add to ham mixture. Add eggs; cook until the eggs are completely set. Sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese; toss to coat.

That sounds good. We eat ham and pasta like this: A box of the Wal-Mart knock off of Velveeta Shells and Cheese and a can of Hormel ham. We really like it, so yours would probably be a smash hit.

LOL - this might be the "empty nest" version of your recipe! :)
