Bow Ties with Asparagus and Ham Recipe

I love this recipe. It is fast (30 min), simple (5 ingredients), and really easy to cook. It is an all time favorite.

Ingredients1 package (16 ounces) bow tie pasta
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
6 ounces thinly sliced deli ham, cut into strips or cubes

DirectionsCook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring cream to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 6-7 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Place asparagus and water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover; microwave on high for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.

Drain pasta and place in a large serving bowl. Add the cream, asparagus, Parmesan cheese and prosciutto; toss to coat. Yield: 6 servings
