I've been making this low-fat ham dinner for my family for years, and we always look forward to it. With asparagus, tomato, pasta and chunks of ham, it's a tempting blend of tastes and textures. &mdash;Rhonda Zavodny, David City, Nebraska

I made this but changed it to a cold salad. I rinsed the pasta in cold water and drained. I used grape tomatoes instead of diced. Added chopped red onion and semi cooked asparagus. I also added garbanzo beans and a little of  my own light dressing.

I had been looking for a good recipe to use for asparagus. I have made this several times my wife loves it. The only change that I made was to leave out the cayenne pepper and add some seasoned pepper. I used diced Roma tomatoes and added a little pasta water .

This is simple and delicious!  I didn't have yellow bell peppers so I skipped them and I added 1/4 cup half and half and 2 tablespoons pasta water at the end before adding the cheese because I thought it would be too dry.  It had a light, cheesy sauce that blended well with the herbs.  Will be making again!

Everyone enjoyed this recipe.  Rather than dicing fresh tomato I poured in a can of diced tomatoes with basil and garlic.  I think it added to the flavor.  I will be making this again.  It was quick, easy and it tasted great.

The jury was on out on this recipe. My boyfriend liked it but I hated it. Unfortunately it tasted like a lot of mismatched flavors and just was not really a good meal. I would not make this again which is super disappointing because I was looking forward to this meal. I feel like you should just make the ingredients separately and enjoy.

Pretty good. I added sauteed onion and garlic and used sundried tomatoes instead. I love the flavor combination of pasta and sun dried tomatoes. It's a keeper.

This dish was really easy to make and looked beautiful on the plate with all the colors.  I did reduce the tomatoes by half and used red pepper instead of cayenne.

Certainly made a colorful presentation!  Easy to prepare after a day's work.  I don't usually serve ham as a main course unless it's the holidays so this was a different offering.  I have made this twice and all of it was consumed both times!

This recipe was very good and easy.  The only thing I changed was to use one 14 oz can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes.  My husband and I both liked it.  I will be making it again soon.

This is so easy to make!  I've made it twice now, and the second time I just used 2 cans of petite cut diced tomatoes, drained; instead of cutting the tomotoes.  They cayanne pepper isn't really all that spicy, it adds a wonderful kick.  If you're really watching your weight, I'd recommend using cooking spray instead of olive oil, whole wheat noodles, and leave out the cheese.  But even as is, it's a pretty healthy recipe.

Looks & tastes amazing, also incredibly easy to make!

This recipe is terrible. I don’t ever rate anything. This might be the first time in my life and I made an account here just to warn you these psychopaths that gave this recipe 5 stars are clearly robots or have never tasted real food. This recipe is unseasoned plain pasta with some completely mismatched ingredients and basically no seasoning or flavor whatsoever. Just Cook asparagus and eat ham. Don’t put this trash together in some affront to the very idea of pasta. GROSS

Loved this recipe although I did make some changes. i threw in some mushrooms and an onion and garlic. I didnt have fresh tomatoes so I used canned. I felt the spices needed to be punched up, so I doubled all the seasonings except the parsley. Delicious!! Will definately make again! Thanks for the great recipe!

I only wish there were negative stars for this tasteless meal.  There was absolutely no flavor.  Good ham, wasted.  Good asparagus, wasted.  Good peppers, wasted.  Good tomatoes, wasted.  BLEH!

My husband loved this recipe, but I did not care as much for it.

Quick, easy, tasty! I used a can of fire roasted tomatoes, undrained, instead of fresh and bowtie pasta. Not a fan of cayenne pepper so I skipped that. Great use of fresh veggies! I served it with a salad.

Yum!  Great way to use up leftover Easter ham and add in a lot of vegetables.  This was particularly good with whole-wheat pasta.  We do only use half the tomatoes because my children are not huge tomato fans.

I thought this was pretty good especially with all of the fresh ingredients. The cheese melted in with the liquid created  by the veggies and made a really nice sauce. Quick and simple to make. This is a great summer recipe, gets you out of the kitchen fast. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. The natural flavors of the asparagus and pepper really enhance this. I actually made without the tomatoes because of tomato allergies, and I was worried it wouldn't taste great. But no problem, it was delicious still!

Great dish! I didn’t have parsley so I skipped it and added two tablespoons of ketchup and mikes red hot sauce. Such good flavor!

Easy, Easy, Easy. This comes together so quickly and tastes great. I had some fresh grape tomatoes and used them along with part of a can of fire roasted tomatoes. Very good. Could add all kinds of other veggies too if you wanted it to go further.

I had all the ingredients for this one on hand with the exception of the tomatoes. I used a can of fire roasted tomatoes, drained and added some onion. It went together very quickly. My husband and I enjoyed it very much.

I thought I'd just make this recipe to use up some ham, but it is so tasty I will buy ham just for it. I didn't have fresh tomatoes so I used canned. Also fresh oregano and basil from my garden. Quick and easy, too!

While I enjoyed the fresh taste of this dish, I still felt it lacked some seasoning.  I didn't have fresh parsley so I used dry instead (doing the conversion, it should have been 4 tsp).  I didn't have enough so I only did 3, which may be why it was a bit lacking (if so, that's my fault).  I'll definitely be trying this again, with FRESH parsley next time and possibly increase the salt just a tad.  I must have had large tomatoes, because after cutting up 3, that looked like plenty.  I also used a "ham steak" which I diced.  I think next time I will also use some minced or chopped garlic.  I'll be doing this one again.
