Creamy Bow-Ties with Broccolini and Ham Recipe

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook as package directs, adding broccolini to water the last 3 minutes of cooking. Reserve about 1 cup of cooking water before draining.

Meanwhile, heat butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Add onion; sauté 4 minutes or until soft. Add half-and-half, salt and pepper; simmer, uncovered, 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Add ham, cover and cook until heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Toss pasta and broccolini with sauce. Add a little pasta water to thin, if desired. Serve with grated Parmesan.
