Parmesan Ham And Spinach Pasta

Description

This is a great way to serve spinach and to use left-over christmas ham. I learned the recipe while in the netherlands, from a french chef. I usually double the recipe because it freezes very well. I have gotten many requests for this recipe. I usually serve it with garlic bread on the side. Enjoy!!
