Yum! This looks really good. Adding leftover ham into pasta is a good idea and something I hadn't thought of for my (likely) Christmas leftovers.

I have some leftover ham that will become tonight's dinner from this suggestion, only I will be using cream of mushroom soup and some sweet peas for my meal, just add a little cheese and pray the older boy will eat it.

This looks really good and something that would be a hit in my home. I will definitely be making this recipe the next time I have leftover ham to use up.
