Time 20m

Yield 1 cup, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4-1/2 lb smoked ham, cubed
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely minced (use less if you don't like that much spice)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 lb penne pasta, cooked and still hot
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Pour the chicken broth into a small saucepan and reduce to 1/3 cup over high heat. Add heavy cream and continue reducing over medium-high heat until desired sauce consistency.
  • 2. In a large stock pot, bring 4 quarts water to boil. Add 1 tablespoons salt. Add penne; stir to separate. Cook until al dente; drain.
  • 3. In the mean time, in large frying pan, saute ham in olive oil over medium heat until slightly golden. Remove to separate dish. Add red and yellow pepper to pan and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add jalapenos, salt and pepper and saute until peppers are softened; about 2-3 minutes.
  • 4. Place pasta in large serving bowl. Add ham and peppers and pour sauce over it. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Sauce will thicken as it cools. Serve warm.

This pasta dish was okay. The sauce was a bit bland and the ham was a bit dry. I wouldn't make this dish again.

This pasta dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. The sauce was creamy and the ham was flavorful. I would recommend using less cream next time.

This pasta dish was a hit with my family! The smoked ham and pepper cream sauce were a delicious combination, and the penne cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
