One Pot Ham & Penne Skillet

We found another winner! We made this the other night and everyone ate it right up, even with peas. I love a recipe where my boys will eat the veggies and not just pick them out!

One Pot Ham and Penne Skillet

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 c. chopped yellow onion
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 3 c. cubed fully cooked ham (or I used one package pre-diced ham)
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, opt. (not everyone in my family liked the kick of heat)
• salt to taste
• 3 c. chicken broth
• 2 c. 2% milk
• 1/4 c. flour
• 16 oz penne noodles, uncooked (or one package any shape noodles you want)
• 2 c. frozen peas thawed (or not... mine were frozen and were fine)
• 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Place 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until warm. Saute ham and onions until onions are translucent. Add garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, pepper and red pepper flakes; cook 1-2 minutes.
2. Stir in broth, milk, flour and penne noodles. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Adds peas and simmer five more minutes or until pasta is cooked through and peas are warm.
4. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of pasta.
