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:

  • When choosing pasta, short shapes like penne, rotini, or macaroni work best in this dish as they hold the sauce well.
  • Use deli ham for a quick and easy protein option, or leftover ham from a holiday meal.
  • Frozen peas and carrots are a convenient and affordable way to add vegetables to the dish, but you can also use fresh vegetables if you prefer.
  • Sharp cheddar cheese melts smoothly and provides a rich flavor, but you can use other types of cheese if you like, such as mozzarella or Gruyère.
  • If you don't have any cream of mushroom soup on hand, you can make your own by sautéing mushrooms in butter and then blending them with milk and flour.
  • Serve the pasta hot dish immediately after baking, garnished with additional chopped parsley or chives if desired.

Conclusion:

This pasta ham hot dish is a comforting and flavorful meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences by using different types of pasta, protein, vegetables, and cheese. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
