Pat's Notes:

Seeing we celebrated the holiday on Sunday- todays menu consisted of leftovers, or as I like to call them "madeovers". I wanted to make something with pasta, but didn't want tomato sauce base, although this would be good with that too. After I made it I kept it warm in the crock pot- as we could eat when we wanted to and those that stopped by could have a warm tasty dish too.
Hope you will like this recipe.

Directions

Put water on to boil.
Cut up veggies and add the carrots and zucchini and green beans to the boiling water with the pasta. Cook in boiling water for 6 minutes. Drain all into a colander, let drain.

Place olive oil and chopped ham and onions in the empty pot and cook and stir until onion is almost translucent.

Spray the inside of your crock pot or a large kettle and place the pasta mixture and the ham and onion mixture into the crock pot. Mix to combine. Cover to keep warm do not cook in crockpot.Just keep it warm in there.

In the empty saucepot make the Alfredo sauce. When it has thickened pour over the pasta medley and stir to coat all the pasta and vegetables evenly.

Stormy- did you read Pat's notes: After it is made I keep it warm in a crock pot. This dish is meant to be eaten hot. I hope this clears it up for everyone.

I remember as a child, when my mother was cooking pasta, she'd give my sister and I a stick of spaghetti pasta to go chew on LOL she did the same when making coffee, give us a few grains of coffee to chew and suck on, course that was back in the day it wasn't fine ground heh.
