Prepare a large pot of salted water and bring it to a boil.

Add the capeletis to the boiling water and cook until they float to the top, indicating they are done.

In a large skillet, heat a small amount of butter over medium heat until melted.

Add diced ham to the skillet and sauté until it starts to brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Add canned mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for another minute.

Reserve some water from the mushroom can to add to the sauce later.

Remove the capeletis from the pot and add them directly to the skillet with the ham and mushrooms.

Toss the capeletis in the skillet to combine with the other ingredients.

Add cream to the skillet and stir to combine everything, cooking for an additional minute or two.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
