I adore this easy to make dinner recipe, and my kids love it because it has such a fun name. Even the older ones think its funny that it is called Hay and Straw. Tastes great, super easy and a nice inexpensive dinner. If you are looking for more inexpensive dinner ideas, check out the Cooking section over at Frugal Changes.

Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. In large skillet, saute the ham in the butter for about 3-4 minutes. Add the peas, and heat through.

It would be great to try this recipe with a little bacon or Italian pancetta in it.
