Creamy Garlic Angel Hair Alfredo with Optional Ham

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the angel hair pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, sauté the minced garlic in olive oil until lightly browned. Stir in the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic salt, black pepper, and dried basil until well blended. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until thickened.

2. 2

   Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the cubed cream cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If desired, stir in the diced cooked ham and heat through. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat the noodles evenly.
