Pipe rigate ai piselli e prosciutto

I have this wonderfull pasta book and all the dishes are written in Italian name ( i think atleast) and it is so funny to read the names if one don't know the language itself like me.

Translated this dish is called Pasta withy peas and ham.

My daughter loves this dish, everytime I make this her plate is fully empty. Only thing she picks out is the tiny pieces of onions in it.

Ham,Onion,past etc...

Almost there
