Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, diced
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 cups cooked, diced ham
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 16 oz penne pasta, dry
  • 4 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cups sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instruction

  • Place a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter. Once melted, add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the ham, parsley, garlic salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder, dried dill, and onion powder to the pot. Stir and cook for a few minutes.
  • Add the pasta and the water to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then place the lid on the pot and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the pasta is al dente, another 5-7 minutes more.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Then stir in the Monterey Jack cheese and the parmesan.
  • Serve hot.
