Pretty Pasta Salad With Peas, Parmesan And Ham

• 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

1. 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.).
2. Boil or microwave the peas until tender.
3. Add drained pasta, peas, parsley and ham in a large bowl and toss well.
4. Shake dressing ingredients together in a jam jar and pour over pasta salad.
5. Add parmesan cheese and serve.
6. Note: This tastes great the next day.
