- Top Tips for Ham & Cheese Pasta
- You can easily change this recipe up by switching out the cheese for cheddar or pepper jack, using leftover ham from a holiday meal, even turkey would be great in this! You are limited only by your pantry and what you are willing to try.
- I sometimes add green beans or peas (if I think I can get away with it), and it adds a lovely pop of color, as well as beefing up the nutrition content.
