This won't win any competitions for authentic pasta dishes. Our son wanted a pasta recipe that he could make using some everyday ingredients that he's likely to find in the fridge (and easy to make). We use the inexpensive ham you buy for sandwiches (we call it plastic ham). James likes the tang of or sour cream which you could use to replace the cream in this recipe
