Instruction

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  • To make the garlic parmesan cream sauce, melt butter in the skillet skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  • Gradually whisk in chicken broth, thyme and basil. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in half and half and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more half and half as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Stir in spaghetti, ham and peas, and gently toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
