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.

I'm allergic to ham. Can I substitute another protein, like chicken or tofu?

This is the worst pasta recipe I've ever tried. The sauce was watery and the ham was dry and tough.

This recipe is way too complicated. I don't have time to spend hours in the kitchen.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I expected. The sauce was too thin and the vegetables were overcooked.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little more flavor.
