Pretty Ham Penne Skillet

I make this recipe throughout the entire year because of its simplicity but I especially love it in the summer. It's light and so delicious!

Ingredients:

1 pkg (16 oz) penne pasta

3 cups fully cooked ham (I get the kind that is cubed)

1 large sweet red pepper, diced

1 medium onion

1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 teaspoon dried basal

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons butter

1 can (14 1/2 oz) chicken broth

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Meanwhile in a large skillet, sauté ham, red pepper, onion, parsley, garlic, basil and oregano in oil and butter 4-6 minutes or until ham is browned and vegetables are tender.

Stir in broth and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.

Drain pasta and stir into ham mixture. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and enjoy!
