Here are my summer pastas, quick and tasty, to prepare in a few minutes. Fusilli with cream and ham is one of our favorite dishes.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Cost: Cheap
- Preparation time: 10 Minutes
- Portions: 4 servings
- Cooking methods: Stove
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 11.3 oz fusilli
- 0.85 cup cream (for cooking)
- 0.55 lbs cooked ham (in cubes)
- 2 pinches coarse salt
- 1 pinch black pepper (ground)
Preparation
Cut the cooked ham into small cubes and set aside on a plate.
Put plenty of water in a pot, as soon as it boils, add the salt and pasta.
Drain the fusilli while still al dente, keeping a glass of cooking water aside in case it turns out too dry.
Return the pasta to the pot, add the ham and cream, and mix well with a wooden spoon.
If it’s too dry, add some of the reserved cooking water.
You can add ground black pepper if you like.
Tips/Advice
I usually don’t fry the ham in the pan, since we like it softer. If you prefer, you can sauté it in the pan with a drop of oil.
