There are so many creamy pasta recipes available on the net but this one makes use of canned mushroom soup, ham bits, and frozen vegetables of carrots, peas, and corn. It’s one of those recipes that is so easy even the kids can help make it! We use Campbells’ Cream of Mushroom canned soup but we also like their Wild Mushroom Soup whenever we can find them in the groceries. It only takes 30 minutes to prepare and only a couple of ingredients to chop- onions and ham. Cook the pasta al dente- cause it makes a big difference and we don’t want them all soggy once we mix it into the creamy sauce. We didn’t specify an exact amount of pasta since we like to add just the right amount into the sauce taking care not to put too much which would make the sauce dry up. Make sure to mix well with the sauce and add a bit of pasta water if it gets too thick. Top with your favorite cheese to make it extra creamy and serve hot in bowls.
