PEA AND HAM PASTA SAUCE
I've been making this pasta sauce for years. It's a good way to use up left-over ham and it's fairly quick and colourful. I like it over tortellini, but shells or spirals are OK too.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a frypan, and saute the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced ham and saute a further 2 minutes or so.
- Add the tomato paste, and cook stirring for 2 minutes, then pour in the wine or stock.
- If I'm using wine, I like to reduce it a little.
- Now add the crushed tomatoes, peas and freshly ground black pepper and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- No longer though or the peas lose their fresh green colour.
- Add the cream and reheat gently, then stir through the chopped basil before serving.
- Offer Parmesan cheese at the table.
