Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh vegetables, flavorful ham, and a good quality pasta will make all the difference.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Cook it according to the package directions, or slightly al dente, so that it still has a little bit of a bite to it.
- Sauté the vegetables until they are tender-crisp. This will help them retain their flavor and texture.
- Use a light hand with the salt and pepper. The ham and Parmesan cheese will add a lot of flavor, so you don't want to over-season the dish.
- Serve the pasta immediately, while it is still hot. This is when it will be at its best.
