You can make fantastically easy meals with leftover cooked or roasted ham/gammon other than just sandwiches. This ham and peas pasta is a perfect example - it's ready within 15 minutes and tastes divine!!! You can spice it up with some added chilli flakes.

Ingredients

1 shallot
5 spring onions (reserve the green tops to garnish)
2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
100 ml chicken stock
200g green peas (frozen or fresh)
100g green beans, chopped
1 Tbsp white wine
1 cup of roast ham, chopped
mint leaves, parmesan to serve (optional)
200g pasta (durum or gluten-free)

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packaging.
Meanwhile: finely chop the shallot and spring onions.
Heat about 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a pan. Add the shallot and spring onion slices. Gently sauté for 3 minutes then add the garlic. Cook for 1 more minute then add the wine. Let it bubble for a couple of minutes then add the chicken stock and bring to the boil.
Add the green beans and peas. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until the beans are cooked through. Add the ham to warm through then toss with the pasta.
Serve with the chopped greens of the spring onion and a few mint leaves scattered around and grated Parmesan if liked.
