Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. (Time the pasta so it is done about the same time as the sauce).

• Add ham and peas and cook, stirring occasionally until heated through, about 3 mins or more. Reduce the heat to very low to keep warm.
• Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Return the pasta to the pot.
• Add sauce, salt and pepper to pasta. Toss pasta with enough of the pasta water to make a light sauce.
