Reviews
The proportions of this recipe are a little off. I used 12 oz of gf spaghetti and that was too much for the amount of cream. Next time I'll use 8 oz of pasta like the other reviewer suggested. Also this is WAY WAY too many peas. I would cut the amount of peas down to two cups at least, maybe even 1. Noticed there weren't any seasons so I added 1/4 tsp Dijon, a pinch of nutmeg, sea salt and black pepper, and garlic. This is an easy recipe that can be built on. The dish was a little bland but not bad.
Flavor was good, easy to make. Mine got a bit thick. I cut the peas down to 2 cups which was good. I will try again

Delicious & easy. Use a good quality Parm (I like Sartori). The nutty, funkiness of good parm imparts delicious flavor. Next time I may add 1/2 tsp. Dijon to the cream, but otherwise, delish as is.
Wonderful quick, easy and DELICIOUS meal. Hubby was amazed at how fast I got this together and how tasty it was! I didn't have shredded Parmesan cheese, so I used an Italian cheese blend. I will definitely be making this again!
Four stars after adding some much needed garlic, thyme and pepper.
Very bland tasting!
Could I serve this cold. or does it have to be a hot dish
Very quick,easy & good with minimal ingredients. I used about 3/4 of the pasta called for & added a cube of frozen minced garlic while saut?ing the ham& peas. I also added about 1/2 tsp. of dried thyme. It was very good & filling.
I sauteed red, yellow, orange peppers and onions before the ham, used about half the pasta and used a cup of skim milk with a tbsp. of corn starch since I was out of heavy whipping cream. Even my husband, who isn't a fan of most pasta dishes, raved about it. Delicious!
