This was quite good. I added zucchini and chopped bell pepper just to increase the vegetables from only mushrooms and peas. Since I don't care for rosemary and it's in Italian seasoning, I only added about a teaspoon of oregano along with garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes. I used whole wheat linguine and fat-free half and half because that's all I had (we were out of milk). Instead of Parmesan, I used a couple wedges of Laughing Cow garlic and herb flavored cheese which I pinched into blobs and let it melt into the sauce. Sorry to make changes, but I'm on Weight Watchers and I needed to lighten this up just a bit. This was just what I was in the mood for and DH ate two huge helpings. Thank you so much for the recipe!

Really good. I might have put too much italian seasoning or it didn't combine well. Not sure but other than that, it was a nice recipe. Through in a little bit of zucchini as well. Husband hates peas and cringed when he saw me adding them. He ended up not being bothered at all by their presence in the recipe. That's good, cuz I sure love peas!

Not much for following recipes to the letter, (they're more inspiration for me) I made the following changes: - omitted mushrooms (cause yuck! fungus!) - substituted bouillon granules for equal amount of organic vegetable "base" (paste) - salted the pasta water but not the sauce - added garlic and red pepper spice blend (2 tsp) with italian seasoning - used skim milk - subbed spaghetti for butternut squash ravioli (available at Costco - yum!) - used a sprinkling of shredded cheese mix including parm, provolone, mozza and gouda (leftover) while peas and ham warmed Pasta was good with these changes although obviously a bit different of a dish. Italian spice was the most noteable flavour but it was pleasant. Dish was good but not spectacular. I would make again or recommend but have many other pasta sauces (like my chipotle alfredo or pesto alfredo) that both my boyfriend and I prefer by a long way so might not get around to trying this one again after all. Definitely quick, easy and worth a go at least once.

These flavors do not go toghether. Italian seasoning and ham is a bad combo.

Great way to use up leftover ham. This dish was pretty tasty, and I will likely make it again. Thanks for sharing!

This was good, I used canned peas so they weren't as bright as frozen. But a nice simple recipe.

This was very good. I made the sauce separately and used carrots and celery for the veggies. I will make this again!

This was a great recipe. The non-pea-eating members of the family ate it. The non-mushroom-eating members of the family ate it. No one had any complaints. I tossed in some seeded and chopped tomatos because I thot it would be good, and it was. And I increased the volume of pasta to make the dish stretch a little. But I made the main recipe as stated, and it was great!
