Easy Ham and Cheese Pasta Salad
All in this easy ham and cheese pasta salad took about 15 minutes to pull together. Boiling water took longer than anything. My son ate all that I sent to school, and I had it for a few lunches. It was a hit.

Instructions
  1. Cook pasta al dente and strain off the water. We don't rinse pasta. It can get gummy if you do. Do toss it with a bit of olive oil to prevent it from sticking.

  2. Cook peas just so they are bright green. You could either dip them in the boiling pasta water (blanching) or you can microwave a frozen pack per directions. Drain off any extra water.
  3. Put all ingredients in a large bowl, and mix by hand.
