Ingredients
- 450 g dried pasta spirals
- 3 1/2 cups frozen peas
- 350 g ham, diced
- 1 cup sour cream or crème fraîche
- Juice ½ lemon
- 1/4 cup roughly torn basil leaves or chopped parsley
Method
- 1Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Stir a few times to prevent pasta sticking together.
