When Valerie Holter's husband was stationed with the Navy in Italy, she enjoyed the local cuisine. "I loved the pasta and learned to make this rich dish from frequent restaurant visits," she notes from Waveland, Mississippi. Tip: Valerie recommends preparing it with spinach fettuccine if it's available at your supermarket.

CREAMY CAMPANELLE WITH HAM AND MUSHROOMS
This is one of my go-to recipes for leftover spiral ham. I like it with a bite-sized pasta as opposed to fettuccini because I like to have it all mixed together and serve it in a bowl.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute less than the package recommends, 6 to 9 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, oregano, basil, and parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Stir in the ham and cook until heated through, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a boil. Slowly stir in spaghetti sauce and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has reduced a bit. Add cooked pasta to pan (if your saute pan is too small, transfer pasta and mushroom ham blend into the pan you cooked the pasta in). Cook so that sauce thickens a bit more, pasta finishes cooking, and the entire dish has melded together, about 5 minutes more.

Tips:
- If you don't have campanelle pasta, you can use another short pasta shape like penne or rotini.
- To make the dish vegetarian, omit the ham and add more vegetables like diced carrots or zucchini.
- If you don't have frozen peas, you can use fresh peas. Just blanch them for a few minutes in boiling water before adding them to the pasta.
- To make the sauce creamier, add a splash of heavy cream or milk.
- If you like a little spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread.
