Fettuccine Carbonara

Ingredients:

1/2 lb. fettuccine, uncooked

1 cup frozen peas

1/4 cup PHILADELPHIA 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese

1/4 cup KRAFT Light Classic Caesar Dressing

1 Tbsp. flour

1 cup fat-free milk

1 pkg. (6 oz.)  Smoked Ham, cut into short strips

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

3 Tbsp. Grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

COOK pasta as directed on package, adding peas to the boiling water for the last 3 min.

MEANWHILE, beat cream cheese, dressing and flour in medium saucepan with whisk until blended. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until mixture is well blended. Add ham; cook on medium-low heat 5 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
