This recipe is not only quick and easy to prepare, it's pretty, too. This colorful pasta dish combines julienned ham, Parmesan cheese, peas and linguine.&mdash;Priscilla Weaver, Hagerstown, Maryland

Hay and Straw

(16 ounces) linguine

butter

peas

Parmesan cheese

heavy whipping cream

Very bland. You need to add seasoning for it to taste good.

Good base but it needs a lot of love. Season season season!

This is a fine recipe. So quick and easy. You really can’t go wrong with peas and ham.

Easy and yummy!  Added a little more cream, 1/3 cup of pasta water, and onion powder.

Four stars after adding some much needed garlic, thyme and pepper.

This a great recipe to use if you're short on time. Really easy! I would recommend only using 8 oz. of pasta- 1 lb. is a lot. Also, try cutting down the peas to 2 cups.

Really quick and easy meal.  My picky kids even thought it was delicious.  I didn't have the parmesan, so I used feta instead and it was really good.  I would take the advice of other reviewers and cut down on the amount of pasta and peas, probably down to 3/4 lb. for the noodles and 2 cups of peas. Other than that, we really enjoyed it.  It's a keeper!

I sauteed red, yellow, orange peppers and onions before the ham, used about half the pasta and used a cup of skim milk with a tbsp. of corn starch since I was out of heavy whipping cream. Even my husband, who isn't a fan of most pasta dishes, raved about it. Delicious!

Very quick,easy & good with minimal ingredients.  I used about 3/4 of the pasta called for & added a cube of frozen minced garlic while saut?ing the ham& peas.  I also added about 1/2 tsp. of dried thyme.  It was very good & filling.

I have been making this recipe since it came out in the Taste of Home Magazine in 2003.  My family absolutely loves it!  It is quick and delicious!

Wonderful quick, easy and DELICIOUS meal.  Hubby was amazed at how fast I got this together and how tasty it was!  I didn't have shredded Parmesan cheese, so I used an Italian cheese blend.  I will definitely be making this again!

Delicious & easy. Use a good quality Parm (I like Sartori). The nutty, funkiness of good parm imparts delicious flavor. Next time I may add 1/2 tsp. Dijon to the cream, but otherwise, delish as is.

Flavor was good, easy to make.  Mine got a bit thick.  I cut the peas down to 2 cups which was good. I will try again

The proportions of this recipe are a little off. I used 12 oz of gf spaghetti and that was too much for the amount of cream. Next time I'll use 8 oz of pasta like the other reviewer suggested. Also this is WAY WAY too many peas. I would cut the amount of peas down to two cups at least, maybe even 1.  Noticed there weren't any seasons so I added 1/4 tsp Dijon, a pinch of nutmeg, sea salt and black pepper, and garlic. This is an easy recipe that can be built on. The dish was a little bland but not bad.

This is so easy, delicious and fun. It's awesome to make when you're in a pinch for time. Absolutely delicious.

I made this tonight and it was wonderful!  I only used 1/2 the peas and added spinach, onion, garlic, and a little more of the sauce!   I will be making this again and again!
