Fill the saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt.
Tip · If the water is boiling too hard, turn the heat down a little to avoid splatters.
Cook the pasta
Drop the pasta into the boiling water and let it cook for 8 to 10 min, following the time on the package. Drain it in the colander.
Dice the ham
Using the knife and cutting board, cut the ham into small cubes of about 1 cm.
Brown the ham
In the nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the diced ham for 2 min without any fat. Set aside.
Cook the peas
In the same skillet, add the frozen peas and cook them for 3 min over medium heat, stirring with the wooden spoon.
Toss it all together
Add the crème fraîche, the drained pasta and the ham you set aside to the skillet. Mix well and let it warm through for 1 min over low heat.
Tip · If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of pasta water to loosen it.
