Fettuccine a la Papalina

2 tbsps. butter

6 tbsps. butter

3 tbsps. minced parsley

Melt butter in a large skillet. Add mushrooms, ham, onion, garlic and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, in the top of a double boiler, over hot, but not boiling water, combine egg yolks and Parmesan cheese thoroughly. Add butter to the yolk mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each piece of butter to melt before the next addition. Add lemon juice and continue to cook until sauce is slightly thickened. Pour sauce over hot noodles and toss lightly, add ham mixture and continue to toss. Sprinkle the dish with minced parsley and Parmesan cheese and serve immediately. Serves 4.

Rice With Green Chilies

Mix together sour cream and Chilies and set aside. Toss cheeses together. Butter a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Put half of rice in casserole, spread half of sour cream mixture on rice, top with half of cheeses and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat layers a second time. Cover casserole and bake for 25 minutes at 375°. Remove cover and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until bubbly. Serves 6-8.

Note: this may be easily halved or doubled and may be assembled early in the day, refrigerated and baked later. Allow more baking time if casserole is chilled.
