PRETTY PASTA SALAD WITH PEAS, PARMESAN AND HAM

Pretty Pasta Salad With Peas, Parmesan and Ham image

This is a wonderful pasta salad which I have been making for at least 15 years. In fact when I first moved to Greece and my mother visited me a year later, one of the first things she asked me was about how to make this recipe. I have made it for buffets and even for my engagement party and it tastes as good as it looks which is saying something! Enjoy.

350 g spiral penne (tri-coloured is wonderful) or 350 g wheel pasta (tri-coloured is wonderful)

Steps:

Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water until firm. (I always add a stock cube to the water to improve the flavour-Maggi pasta stock cubes are ideal.).

Shake dressing ingredients together in a jam jar and pour over pasta salad.

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 lb box ditalini pasta (or other shape such as macaroni)
salt for cooking pasta
1 cup frozen peas
4 eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, and chopped finely
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (can use white if you don't have apple cider)
1/4 cup white granulated sugar (or to taste)
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
salt to taste (~1 1/2 teaspoons)
ground black pepper to taste (~1/2 teaspoon)
2 bell peppers, trimmed and seeded and chopped finely (I use 1 red and 1 yellow)
2 cups cooked ham chopped into small cubes (I used a ham I made with my brown sugar glaze)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion (I used dried minced onion since I don't tolerate raw onion well)
Optional: 2 stalks celery finely chopped

Steps:

Boil pasta in salted water as directed on packaging until al dente.
While pasta cooks, mix together mayo, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until thoroughly combined into a dressing.
Stir in the peppers, ham, onion and celery until everything is covered with the dressing. Set aside.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain and stir in frozen peas. Rinse with cold water to stop cooking and drain thoroughly. Gently fold the pasta and peas into the dressing mix.
Taste for seasoning and then cover and refrigerate until serving, preferably at least a couple hours if not overnight.

HAM PASTA SALAD

Ham Pasta Salad image

I "invented" this salad as I went along...it's a combination of various pasta salad recipes I'd seen. It can be served as a side dish, of course. In summer, however, my husband doesn't care for hot meals, so I make it as a main dish. We're recent city transplants with two young children, ages 6 and 3.
