HAWAIIAN HAM AND BACON PASTA SALAD
Sweet, salty, smoky and a little bit spicy, there's a whole lot of flavor going on here, and with surprisingly few ingredients. That's the genius of this recipe: It combines a few complementary ingredients to scrumptious effect. Pineapple bits, ham chunks, bacon crumbles and diced jalapeño folded into the creamy pasta base make for a mouthwatering meal that you can probably pull together without running to the store. It's a great use of leftover ham, but also beautiful enough to feature on your Easter brunch table. Whether you're making it for tonight's dinner or a major holiday, prep it ahead of time and stash it in the fridge, so it's quick to assemble when it's time to come to the table.
