Pretty Pasta Salad With Peas, Parmesan And Ham - cooking recipe

Ingredients

350 g spiral penne (tri-coloured is wonderful) or 350 g wheel pasta (tri-coloured is wonderful)
225 g ham (chopped)
225 g peas
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese (freshly-grated)
2 tablespoons parsley (finely-chopped)
Dressing
1/3 cup olive oil (can reduce this amount to your personal preference)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
salt and pepper

Preparation

Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water until firm. (I always add a stock cube to the water to improve the flavour-Maggi pasta stock cubes are ideal.).
Boil or microwave the peas until tender.
Add drained pasta, peas, parsley and ham in a large bowl and toss well.
Shake dressing ingredients together in a jam jar and pour over pasta salad.
Add parmesan cheese and serve.
Note: This tastes great the next day.
