Where did I go wrong? I used 1 clove garlic,onion,mushrooms,ham, chicken breasts and cream and it tasted like something was missing. Actually it was tasteless

where were the Italian herbs? Like parsely, basil, oregeno, rosemary or any combination of them?I also find a dollop of cream or cream cheese, may be a splash of white wine makes if taste just that little bit more decadent

Dijon mustard is good for giving it a little more oomph too.

Fried bacon is what was missing, ham is just not the same

white wine and parmesan cheese gives it a kick. And I use grainy mustard in most things, even when I mash the potatoes! and parsley.

you missed out the fried bacon, salt and chilli as well as the Italian herbs ... no wonder it was tasteless.

I'm assuming you sauteed the garlic, onions, mushrooms and ham first? They can be tasteless if you don't do that first, and just add the cream to them.
Also, did you throw in a heap of salt to the fettucine when cooking it?
Season the cream after adding it to the sauteed stuff?
Having said that, pretty much everyone above is right, bacon insterad of ham, use some herbs in with the sauteed stuff and white wine does make it taste a lot sharper. I always stir some grated parmesan into the final sauce or over the top too. Oh and dry fried pinenuts.
