I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the ham from this recipe. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, to make up for the lack of meat.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have ham leftover from Easter and this is a great way to use it up.

I made this recipe in my slow cooker and it was perfect! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I'm not a big fan of ham, so I substituted ground beef in this recipe. It turned out great! The beef added a nice richness to the dish.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out watery. I think I will try it again and cook the pasta separately.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and salt and it was much better.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of pasta, beans, and ham is hearty and flavorful. I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes for a kick.
