Italian Spaghetti with Ham
Sounds really good, quick and easy. This is a buttered pasta with ham and black olives. Lots of room for changes to this. On my to cook list.
Ingredients
- 250 grams spaghetti
- 2 cups cooked ham, cubed
- 1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup butter, this is 1/4 of a standard block of butter, or to taste
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water, drain well..
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non stick pan and cook the garlic and ham. Turn down heat to low and stir in the pasta, cheese, eggs, olives, and half of the parsley, when the eggs are cooked, remove from heat and salt butter to taste. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve.
Notes
The ham slices, 2 thick slices was about 100 Baht from Makro is about 2 cups diced. All the rest is minimal cost. This comes out to about 75 cents per serving for 4 servings. Very economical meal.
Variants, add peas, and a bit of Cream cheese, substitute the ham for cooked cubed chicken, or even Italian sausage or even smoked spicy sausage.
