Wheels with Sour Cream Sauce

Pasta is a versatile food loved by many, perfect for a quick and delicious meal. We start by bringing water to a boil in a large pot, adding a generous dash of salt. This will help flavor the pasta while it cooks. It is important to follow the instructions on the package to achieve the perfect al dente pasta. When the water starts to boil, we add the pasta and let it cook according to the indicated time.

In the meantime, we can take care of the other ingredients. We start by peeling the onion, which will add a sweet and aromatic note to our sauce. After peeling the onion, we wash it well under cold running water and chop it into small cubes. These will be sautéed until they become translucent and slightly golden, bringing a wonderful taste to the dish.

The ham, the ingredient that will further enrich this dish, is also cut into small cubes to integrate perfectly into the sauce. Once the pasta is boiling, we turn our attention to the pan. We put a generous amount of butter in a deep pan and let it melt over medium heat. The aroma of melted butter will fill the kitchen and prepare our taste buds for the delight to come.

We add the onion to the pan and let it sauté gently, stirring occasionally, until it becomes golden and soft. The aroma of caramelized onions will be irresistible. After the onion is sautéed, we add the cubes of ham and let them brown for a few minutes until they become crispy, adding extra texture to our sauce.

When the ham is perfectly browned, we turn off the heat and add the cream, mixing well to obtain a creamy and homogeneous sauce. We season the sauce with salt and pepper, according to everyone's preferences, to enhance the flavors. It's time to make sure the pasta is ready. When cooked, we drain it well and add it directly to the pan over the creamy onion and ham sauce.

We gently mix the pasta with the sauce, ensuring that each piece is coated with that delicious combination. It is essential that the pasta and sauce are prepared simultaneously so that we can enjoy the dish immediately. Finally, we generously sprinkle Grana Padano or grated Parmesan cheese on top for an intense flavor and rich texture. Serve immediately, enjoying the aroma and taste of this simple yet absolutely delicious dish. Enjoy your meal!
