Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Bow ties, also known as farfalle, are a great choice for this recipe because they hold the sauce well and cook evenly. However, you can use any short pasta shape that you like, such as penne, macaroni, or rotini.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables, but be sure to thaw them before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and will not hold the sauce as well.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, it will not cling to the pasta and will make the dish watery.
  • Add cheese at the end: Adding cheese to the sauce at the end of cooking will prevent it from curdling. You can use any type of cheese that you like, such as Parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella.

Conclusion:

Creamy bow ties with ham and vegetables is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even better. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
