12 ounces
Angel Hair, uncooked
1 10 ounce box frozen baby peas,
defrosted
1 1/2 cups 1% milk
1 tablespoons all purpose
flour
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2
teaspoons vegetable oil
1 small red onion, peeled and sliced very
thin
2 cups chopped extra lean ham
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Cook pasta according
to package directions. While pasta is cooking, combine 1/2 cup of
the peas, milk, flour, salt and pepper in a blender jar or food
processor. Blend until very smooth. Add remaining peas, without
blending and set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium
heat. Add onions and ham and cook, tossing, until onion is tender,
about 5 minutes. Add milk mixture, reduce heat to low and simmer 3
minutes, stirring constantly. When pasta is done, drain well,
reserving 1/2 cup of pasta cooking liquid. Add ham sauce and
reserved pasta cooking liquid. Stir over low heat until pasta is
coated with sauce. Transfer to a serving platter or plates. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper and serve, passing Parmesan cheese separately.
