Parmesan Ham and Pea Spaghetti
Parmesan Ham and Pea Spaghetti! My daughter Lisa has been craving peas lately and my family is a big fan of ham. I don’t usually make main courses with ham as the ingredient unless it’s the holidays. This is a quick and easy recipe that will help you get through the week and it’s cheap to make. Parmesan ham and pea spaghetti will become one of your family’s favorites!
The sauce in this dish is too die for! It’s so full of flavor that you can incorporate in other veggies to wow your crowd!
