Time 20m

Yield 1 cup, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4-1/2 lb smoked ham, cubed
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely minced (use less if you don't like that much spice)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 lb penne pasta, cooked and still hot
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Pour the chicken broth into a small saucepan and reduce to 1/3 cup over high heat. Add heavy cream and continue reducing over medium-high heat until desired sauce consistency.
  • 2. In a large stock pot, bring 4 quarts water to boil. Add 1 tablespoons salt. Add penne; stir to separate. Cook until al dente; drain.
  • 3. In the mean time, in large frying pan, saute ham in olive oil over medium heat until slightly golden. Remove to separate dish. Add red and yellow pepper to pan and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add jalapenos, salt and pepper and saute until peppers are softened; about 2-3 minutes.
  • 4. Place pasta in large serving bowl. Add ham and peppers and pour sauce over it. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Sauce will thicken as it cools. Serve warm.

This recipe is a keeper! The sauce is easy to make and it's packed with flavor. The smoked ham adds a nice touch of smokiness and the pepper gives it a little kick. I served this over penne pasta and it was a hit with my family.

This recipe is a waste of time. The sauce was flavorless and the ham was dry. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this dish turned out terrible. The sauce was watery and the ham was tough. I will not be making this recipe again.

I would not recommend this recipe. The sauce was bland and the ham was dry. I ended up throwing most of it away.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thin and the ham was overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the ham was a bit too salty. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had used a different type of ham and if I had made the sauce a little lighter.

I'm not a huge fan of smoked ham, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did because the sauce was delicious! The cream and pepper really balanced out the smokiness of the ham. I will definitely be making this again, but I might use regu
