Ham and Spinach Farfalle

I found this recipe via pinterest and adapted it from here.

As I do with most of my cooking, I made several changes based on what I had in the house. Turned out delicious and all who tasted, approved.  I used left over Christmas ham (it was delish!)

Ham and Spinach Farfalle (bow tie pasta)


1 box of farfalle pasta (bow tie)
Olive oil spray
½ small onion diced
2 cloves diced garlic
1 cup diced ham
1 cup heavy cream
3.5 oz gouda cheese
1/8 tsp nutmeg
4 cups fresh spinach leaves


Cook pasta in a large saucepan or lightly salted boiling water until al dente. Drain. Meanwhile, spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil. Heat over medium-high heat sauté onion and garlic until golden. Add the ham and cream. Reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes until heated through, then add cheese, nutmeg and spinach. Toss well until well combined and allow spinach to wilt ever so slightly. And Enjoy!
