Ingredients
| Vermicelli | 4 Ounce | |
| Half and Half | 1 1/4 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| 1/3 to 1/2 cup thinly sliced cooked ham, cut into slivers | ||
| 1/3 cup frozen petite peas | ||
| Parmesan cheese | 3/4 Cup (16 tbs), grated | |
Directions
In a 4- to 5-quart pan over high heat, bring 1 to 2 quarts water to boiling.
Add pasta and cook, uncovered, until tender-firm to bite, about 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a 4- to 5-quart pan, combine half-and-half, ham, and peas.
Stir often on medium-high heat until steaming.
Remove from heat.
Drain pasta and pour into cream mixture.
With 2 forks, lift pasta to mix with cream; do this several times for 3 to 4 minutes.
