Easy One-Pot Ham and Vegetable Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2.5 cups cubed fully cooked ham
• 0.5 cup chopped onion
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1.25 cups fat free half-and-half
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
• 2 cups frozen peas and carrots
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced ham and chopped onion; sauté for approximately 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, around 30 seconds. Season with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; cook for an additional 2 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth, half-and-half, and flour until the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture into the pot with the ham and vegetables. Stir in farfalle pasta, cover the pot, and cook for 15 minutes.
3. Add peas and carrots to the pot. Continue to cook until the pasta is fully cooked, about 8 more minutes. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve the one-pot ham and vegetable pasta immediately.
