Artichoke or Tomato Pasta

from Traditions...
A Taste of the Good Life

INGREDIENTS:

8 ounces tomato, artichoke or spinach fettuccini, or
  any pasta of your choice
1/2 cup cooking oil
6 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup olive oil
  Salt to taste
  Pepper to taste (freshly ground is best)
1 pint Half and Half
1/2 pound Prosciutto, cut into thin strips
2 large zucchini, coarsely grated
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese or
  1 cup of any other cheese, finely grated

TO PREPARE:

In a large pot, boil the pasta in 3 quarts of water.  Add 1/2 cup cooking oil to keep pasta from sticking together.  When soft to the bite (about 8 minutes), drain.  In a large saucepan, melt the butter, add olive oil, salt and pepper.  Add the Half and Half, meat and squash.  Cook about 3 minutes, stirring constantly.  Toss the hot pasta with the sauce and cheese.

NOTE:  Other meats good in this are pastrami, chipped beef
       or ham, always cut in thin strips.  Shrimp is also
       good.
