members' commentsGert - Love this recipe Hally. I also like scalloped potatoes and ham. Love it cold too.
AB - really nice, quick and easy, I used baby shells.
jo nz - DH said it was even better today, although clearly was not too bad last night either!
cookie - We loved it too. It is not our usual week night meal but was very nice. Will definitely make it again.
kt2 - really enjoyed it. Very easy and tasty too. Thanks for sharing the recipe Hally.
maddy - Quick & easy and little effort required. I threw 1 garlic clove on running blades before making the sauce and used orecchiette pasta. Subbed corn as we are a "pea free zone" here.
JD - This is a great recipe Hally. I only wanted enough for 2 so, with the addition of a couple of ingredients, these are the quantities I used.
100g spiral pasta
85g mixed veg
2 tblspns grated parmesan in the recipe and another 2T for sprinkling on top
75g ham
1/2 tsp garlic paste
80g cream
35g roasted red capsicum
My pasta wasn't cooked enough for me at the end so I added it back to the TM bowl with the rest of the ingredients and cooked 2 mins/100
o/reverse/speed 1. I let it sit for 2 minutes before serving. The roasted red capsicum gave the dish a pinkish hue. Delicious, quick meal - thanks Hally.
blackwood - This was such a quick and easy recipe. I used chicken instead of ham and as the chicken was already cooked, I added it at the end of the cooking time, just to heat it up.
I had frozen peas and corn mix in the freezer so just added that. I also added some mushrooms into the TM bowl and cooked them in a little butter before adding the cream, etc. Can't wait to try this again with ham! Thanks for such an easy recipe!
Deniser - Oh My Goodness. What an easy recipe. Never though to cook pasta this way - how simple and quick. Good one!
Katiej - I made this this afternoon to use up some of our ham. We'll be having it for lunch tomorrow and I've placed the rest in lunch size portions in the freezer. I didn't have any peas so I cooked some mushrooms and zucchini in a little butter for a few minutes before adding the cream. Also added some garlic and chilli. The little bit I tasted is lovely.
