Instructions: Saute onion in butter, add ham to heat through and brown a bit. Add peas and heat through, add hot pepper flakes, pepper, handful chopped parsley, simmer about 5 minutes, add a splash of white wine if you like.

In another pot heat milk, add cheese and simmer together, when hot but not boiled toss the hot drained pasta in this sauce.

Toss again with the ham and pea mixture. Sprinke with a little more parmesan and parsley. Serve.

A really tart sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio goes well with this pasta.
