Cheesy Ravioli with Ham and Peas

CHEESY RAVIOLI WITH HAM AND PEAS — Cheese filled ravioli, diced ham, and peas come together in a creamy sauce for a comfort food style pasta dish that will satisfy the whole family.


Cheesy Ravioli with Ham and Peas

If you had ham for Christmas dinner, you’re probably looking for a way to use some leftovers. Well, look no further than his Cheesy Ravioli with Ham and Peas.

Of all the dishes I make with ham, this one is probably my family’s favorite. Because what’s not to love about a creamy, cheesy pasta dish? I could throw just about any kind of meat and vegetables in this recipe and my boys would devour it.

But after holidays, it’s usually ham that I need to use up. And peas are the perfect accompaniment to the ham, but mushrooms, broccoli, or even no vegetables at all would work just as well.

You can even sub tortellini for the ravioli, or use an unfilled pasta in this recipe. The point is to use up some leftovers, so feel free to add what you have on hand.

Cheesy Ravioli with Ham and Peas

The best part of this recipe is definitely the cheesy, creamy, Alfredo-style sauce. I’m pretty sure that’s why my family loves this dish so much too.

You can serve this serve this straight from the skillet, but I like to dump it into a 9×13 baking dish and broil it for a few minutes for a nice bubbly, golden top.

Besides being delicious, this meal comes together in about 20 minutes, which is exactly what I need after all that holiday cooking.

And if you have company, this is a nice way to serve something besides just a plate of microwaved leftovers, without spending a ton of time in the kitchen.

If you have lot of leftover ham, dice it up and freeze it so you can make this dish again later. It’s definitely a dinner my family is happy to eat any time of year!
