Preparation

Bring a pot full of water to a boil. Meanwhile add butter to skillet and melt. Once melted, add onion, garlic and ham. Saute until onion is soft or ham is slightly browned.
Once water starts to vigorously boil, add pasta. Meanwhile add flour to mixture one tablespoon at a time stirring constantly. Add in milk 1/2 cup at a time. (Add more or less to suite your tastes for sauce consistency.).
Once sauce consistency is a little runnier than you like, add cheese and salt. Reduce heat to simmer while you drain pasta.
Mix drained pasta together with sauce and serve with salad and bread for a complete quick meal!
This meal is very versatile and you can change the quantities of the pasta or type of pasta to suite your own family's needs.
