Leftovers Pasta (with ham)



Tonight for dinner I'm going to use up the left over ham from the other day in a simple tomato pasta sauce which works every time!

Ingredients

Left over ham (or any other meat you have)
Tin of tomatoes
Italian herbs
1 onion
1 garlic clove
Dash of Worcester Sauce
2 table spoons of tomato ketchup
Half a tube of tomato purée
Whatever left over veg you have (in my case the end of a jar of green sliced olives and the last little bit of a yellow sweet pepper)
500g pasta
Grated cheese of choice

Method
  1. Fill pasta pan with water and get on the hob to boil
  2. In a wok heat up some olive oil
  3. Add chopped onion and garlic and fry off
  4. Add diced meat and stir
  5. Add all the remaining ingredients other than pasta and cheese and stir
  6. By this point your pasta water should have come to the boil, so put your pasta on and cook for 10 minutes
  7. Put lids on both pans and leave for the pasta cooking time
  8. Grate the cheese
  9. When your pasta is cooked, strain and then add to the wok, add cheese and then mix everything together until all nicely mixed
  10. Serve and enjoy!
