This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I had some ham leftover from Easter dinner, and I was looking for a way to use it up. This dish was perfect! The ham was delicious, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning, or maybe some additional vegetables. I also found that the ham was a bit dry. Overall, it was a decent meal, but I wouldn't make it again.

I'm not a big fan of ham, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this dish. The ham was cooked perfectly and wasn't overly salty, and the primavera sauce was light and flavorful. I would definitely make this again!

This dish is a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. They love the ham and the pasta, and they don't even notice the vegetables. I always sneak in a few extra vegetables, and they never complain.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the ham from this recipe. The dish was still very flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I served it over quinoa, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

I'm on a diet, so I made a few modifications to this recipe. I used low-fat milk instead of heavy cream, and I omitted the butter. The dish was still delicious, and it was much healthier than the original recipe.
