My family loves this recipe, and it’s a great way to use up leftover ham.  Although a meal by itself, I often serve it with a tossed salad.

2 Tbsp. butter, divided

2 Tbsp. flour

2 cups milk

In a large skillet, melt the remaining butter.  Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add the milk.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.  Stir in cheese; cook 2-3 minutes longer or until melted.  Stir in the ham, fettuccine and peas.
