How to Make Ham It Up Spaghetti

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 pound of spaghetti and stir well to prevent sticking.
  2. Set a timer for the pasta according to package directions (usually 8-10 minutes).
  3. While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups cubed leftover ham, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Microwave the sauce on high for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until heated through and slightly thickened. Adjust microwave time as needed depending on your appliance.
  5. Once the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it and add it to the sauce. Toss to combine.
  6. Serve immediately and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
