Ingredients 

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 1 lb precooked ham steak, diced
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 16 oz dry penne pasta
  • 2 cups frozen sweet peas
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese

Instructions 

  • To a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add the oil. Once hot, add in the onion and ham and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until the ham is a nice golden color.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, and all of the seasonings. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, or until the flour turns a golden color. Slowly stir in the broth. Pour it in slowly so no clumps form. Stir in the milk.
  • Bring to a simmer, then add in the pasta. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked. If the liquid gets too low, add 1/2 cup water at a time until the pasta is tender.
  • Stir in the frozen peas and let them simmer in the pot for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

    This recipe is a win. I made a few changes including:
    Had some half and half to use up so used it and milk.
    Also, used a 10 oz bag of peas and added a package of sliced mushrooms because yum.
    Lastly, my lazy weeknight tip is I bought 2, 8oz packages of diced ham. Had prepped onion in freezer so was a 30 minute meal!

    Delicious, I only had 1/2 pound of ham so added in 1/2lb diced mushrooms. Really tasty!
