Cooking Steps

Step 1

Cook the Catelli® Bistro® Tri-Coloured Fusilli according to directions on box, 7 minutes.

Step 2

While your pasta is cooking, sauté olive oil, onions and ham in a large non-stick heavy bottom fry pan over med/high heat for 2 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium. Add asparagus and sweet peas. Sauté for 2 minutes and then stir in evaporated milk, just until milk is warm (approximately 2 minutes).

Step 4

Strain hot water off pasta in a strainer/colander in the sink. Do not rinse. Add hot, drained pasta to ham, asparagus and pea mixture.

Step 5

Stir in chopped basil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

You can use leftover chicken instead of the ham, or fresh rosemary instead of the basil.
