Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion until it begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the ham and garlic and cook until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in the white wine and cook until boiled down almost all the way, 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the broth and reserved pasta cooking water and bring to a boil. Turn down to medium-low and simmer until sauce thickens, 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Stir in the frozen peas, grated cheese, and heavy cream and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook while stirring until heated all the way through and sauce is desired consistency. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and serve over cooked pasta.
