I'm not a big fan of ham, but this dish was really good. The ham was crispy and flavorful, and the penne was perfectly al dente.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a good meal for a pot luck or a party.

The dish was good, but it wasn't anything special. I probably won't make it again.

I made this dish for a party and it was a huge hit! I used penne rigate instead of regular penne, and I added some fresh basil. It was delicious and everyone loved it.

I thought the dish was a little too salty, even though I used low-sodium ham. Other than that, it was good.

Not bad! I thought the ham was a little dry, but the rest of the dish was very good. I'll try it again with a different type of ham next time.

The recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great. I used a different kind of ham (Black Forest) and added some fresh spinach. It was a quick and easy meal that the whole family enjoyed.
