Parmesan Noodles and Ham

These Parmesan Noodles and Ham will be the easiest thing you can make with your left-over ham or a ham steak!

It takes only 10 minutes to make and the whole family will love it. As I’m typing this, my 5 year old and my 2 year old are devouring a bowl of these parmesan noodles and ham! (Even with the green onions!)  It is the perfect family-friendly meal.

After Christmas and Easter, we always have so much leftover ham and I am always trying to come up with ways to use it in our meals and not waste it. This creamy ham dish is a favorite; partly because it tastes so good and partly because it’s so quick and easy to make.

Who wants to be slaving in the kitchen after you’ve been a cooking maniac through the holidays?! Not me! I love that I don’t even need to turn on the oven for this recipe. The entire dish is ready in the time that it takes to cook the noodles.

You can also make this all year with just a simple ham steak. I like to buy them when they are on sale, throw them in my freezer and just take one out in the morning to thaw. By dinner time, it’s ready to go and you’ll have a delicious meal on the table in 10 minutes!

The easiest way to make these parmesan noodles and ham is to set your pot of water to boil and chop the ham and green onions while you are waiting for the water to boil. Then once you dump in the noodles, you can cook the skillet ingredients while the noodles boil. That’s it!

With just a few simple ingredients, you can turn your leftover ham or a simple ham steak into a delicious, creamy noodle dish that your entire family will love. I know this will easily become a meal that your family asks for over and over again like mine does!
