Pea and ham pasta sauce image

I've been making this pasta sauce for years. It's a good way to use up left-over ham and it's fairly quick and colourful. I like it over tortellini, but shells or spirals are OK too.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 small onion, finely chopped
250 g diced ham
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup white wine or 1/2 cup chicken stock
1 (440 g) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted under running hot water
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup light cream
2 tablespoons chopped basil
parmesan cheese, shaved or grated to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a frypan, and saute the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the diced ham and saute a further 2 minutes or so.
  • Add the tomato paste, and cook stirring for 2 minutes, then pour in the wine or stock.
  • If I'm using wine, I like to reduce it a little.
  • Now add the crushed tomatoes, peas and freshly ground black pepper and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • No longer though or the peas lose their fresh green colour.
  • Add the cream and reheat gently, then stir through the chopped basil before serving.
  • Offer Parmesan cheese at the table.

This recipe is a winner! The sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the peas and ham add a nice touch of sweetness and saltiness. I served it over spaghetti, but it would also be good with other types of pasta.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this sauce. I'm not usually a fan of peas, but they were cooked perfectly in this recipe and added a nice texture and sweetness. The ham also added a nice salty flavor. I will definitely be making this
