Pasta with ham and cream sauce

1. Cook the pasta accordingly to the package cooking directions. When cooked drain water and run pasta under tap water, so as to stop cooking, and to avoid the strands from sticking to each other.

2. Prepare the sauce by sauteing chopped onion over low heat until they turn translucent and aromatic.

3. Then add the ham, make sure the ham is thoroughly cooked.
