HAM AND VEGETABLE PASTA



Ham and Vegetable Pasta image

This recipe started with the question of what to do with leftover ham. It's an adapted recipe from Taste of Home. Although very rich, we loved the mix of fresh vegetables with the ham in a cream-based sauce. I'm going to try the recipe again, lightening the sauce by using half and half with chicken broth to replace the cream.

PASTA WITH 15-MINUTE HAM, PEA, AND CREAM SAUCE



Pasta with 15-Minute Ham, Pea, and Cream Sauce image

Grated lemon zest gives this creamy classic a hit of bright flavor and a little added flair.

Provided by Mindy Fox

Categories     Milk/Cream     Pasta     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Ham     Pea     Small Plates

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound farfalle or other short pasta
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced shallots (about 2 large)
4 ounces thick-cut ham (about 4 slices), cut into thin strips
1 cup frozen or fresh shelled peas
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (from about 1 large lemon)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan (for serving)

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:

  • Choose the right pasta: Short pasta shapes like penne, rotini, or shells work well for this recipe because they can hold the sauce and vegetables.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful vegetables and a good-quality ham will make a big difference in the taste of the dish.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together, so make sure it's packed with flavor. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Just before serving, sprinkle some fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or oregano over the pasta. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This ham and vegetable pasta is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great way to use up leftover ham. With its colorful vegetables and creamy, flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
