Steps:
- Melt butter in a medium sized pot over medium heat.
- Slowly add flour, whisking constantly to make a smooth mixture. Cook the mixture for about a minute, whisking constantly.
- Gradually add milk, whisking during every addition. Mixture will initially seize up but as you add more milk it will start to loosen.
- Slowly the mixture will become more liquid. Continue to whisk it very well in order to avoid lumps. Add milk a few tablespoons at a time, whisking as you add it, until it's all incorporated.
- Initially the mixture will be thin. Stir with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pot, until it thickens. Depending on the temperature of the burner this could take 5-15 minutes.
- The sauce will be done not long after it starts to slightly boil and thicken. Stir in chopped ham (or turkey).
- Season with salt, starting with 1/2 teaspoon and adding more to taste, depending on the saltiness of your ham or turkey. I often use about 1 teaspoon in total.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, with vegetables on the side.Enjoy! :)

CREAMED RICE WITH ENGLISH PEAS AND COUNTRY HAM
Steven Satterfield, the chef at Miller Union in Atlanta, published a version of this recipe for a kind of Lowcountry risotto in his cookbook, "Root to Leaf." He uses Carolina Gold rice, a heritage long-grain variety, but any good long-grain rice will do. Likewise, feel free to substitute other hams for the country ham called for in the recipe. But use the very best peas you can find or, failing that, asparagus tips or tiny radishes. Not rich enough for you? Add a poached egg.

Steps:
- Cook farfalle in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain, reserving 2 Tbsp. pasta cooking liquid.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add shallots and 1/2 tsp. salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes (do not brown). Add ham, peas, and cream. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lemon zest, 2 Tbsp. parsley, and 1/2 tsp. pepper.
- Return pasta to pot. Toss with sauce and reserved pasta cooking liquid; season with salt and pepper. Divide among plates, then top with parsley and Parmesan and season with more pepper.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for high-quality ham, fresh peas, and creamy sauce.
- Don't overcook the ham. Ham is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the ham just until it is heated through.
- Use a good-quality cream sauce. The cream sauce is an important part of this dish. Make sure to use a sauce that is rich and creamy, and that has a good flavor.
- Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs can add a lot of flavor to this dish. Try adding some chopped parsley, chives, or tarragon.
- Serve immediately. Creamed ham is best served immediately, while it is still hot and creamy.

Creamed ham with peas is a classic dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect creamed ham with peas that your family and friends will love.
