There was just enough leftover baked ham in the fridge to use for tonight’s pasta.

INGREDIENTS:

1.     Gemelli pasta

2.     Baked ham coarsely chopped

3.     Sundried tomatoes chopped

4.     Olive oil

5.     Butter

6.     Carrots

7.     Celery

8.     Dried tarragon

9.     Garlic

10. Leeks

11. Sweet Vermouth

12. Chicken Broth

13. Red pepper flakes

PROCESS:

 Cook the Leek, carrots, and parsley in olive oil until soft, add the garlic and sundried tomatoes and continue cooking. About 5 minutes later add the tarragon and chicken broth and continue cooking while waiting for the pasta. When the broth cooks down add some wine.  Add the past and some pasta water and cook for another 1-2 minutes before serving.
