Pasta Parmesan with Ham, American

I nabbed this tasty recipe off of the little insert of a Challenge Butter 4 pack. So if you make it, run out and buy some Challenge butter so I don't get sued!

Ingredients

• 8 ounces ½ lb. tubular pasta such as (Penne or Mostaccioli)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ cup Parmesean cheese, freshly grated
• 2 Tablespoons finely chopped parsley
• ¼ cup (½ stick) Challenge Butter
• 1 cup ham cut into ½-inch cubes
• ¹/₃ cup milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and keep warm. Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan. Sauté the garlic and ham over medium heat until warm and garlic is golden. Stir in the cooked pasta, 2 Tablespoons butter and Parmesan cheese; cook over low heat to melt cheese. Add milk and parsley and continue gently tossing until creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Offer Parmesan cheese. Yield: 4 - 5 servings.
