PENNE WITH PEAS, HAM AND CHEESE
No cook sauce that tastes like you spent some time on it. Any hard cheese will work, parmesan and peccarino both have worked well for me. Can lighten the dish using part skim ricotta if desired. Simple, easy and delicious. From Mark Bittmans "How to Cook Everything" with adaptions for our taste. This recipe can be halved to serve 2 people generously.
