Main Ingredients- Canned Ham (appropriate amount)
- Spaghetti Noodles (1 serving)
- Store-bought Spaghetti Sauce (1 serving)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the ham into bite-sized pieces. Slicing it about 1 to 1.5 cm thick will make it easy to insert the spaghetti noodles. You can also cut the ham into fun shapes. To assemble the skewers, thread the spaghetti noodles through one end of the ham piece to the other. Inserting 2-3 strands of spaghetti per ham piece looks appealing and is convenient for eating.
Step 2
Bring a generous amount of water to a rolling boil in a deep pot, adding a pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the spaghetti noodles and cook according to the package directions, usually for 8-10 minutes. It’s best to cook the pasta until it’s ‘al dente’ – tender but still firm to the bite. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
Step 3
Drain the cooked spaghetti thoroughly using a colander. Heat the pan over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter. (Optionally, you can add a pinch of minced garlic for extra aroma.) Add the drained spaghetti to the pan and gently sauté for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring the noodles are coated evenly with the butter. This step adds a lovely richness and helps the sauce adhere better.
Step 4
Pour the store-bought spaghetti sauce over the sautéed spaghetti and mix well. Continue to cook for about 1 minute more, allowing the sauce to coat the noodles evenly. Transfer the finished ham spaghetti to a nice serving dish. Arrange the ham and spaghetti skewers attractively on top. For an extra touch, sprinkle with parsley flakes if desired. Your delightful ham spaghetti is ready to be enjoyed! Have fun eating the skewers with your loved ones.
