I can’t even believe how easy it is to make this recipe. This basically is the kind of dish a student would prepare between two matches of their favorite video game. It’s that simple! Now don’t get discouraged if you’re not yet a student, or those years are well behind you, you will still be able to make this dish come true in matter of minutes!
So, you need onions, tomatoes, red peppers, ham and pasta. Dead simple! I told you this recipe is fast to make, but if you’re looking to cut down on preparation time even more I just might have a little life hack that goes beautifully in this case. Instead of fresh tomatoes, go buy a couple of cans of chopped ones instead. You’ll save precious minutes by not having to peel and chop the tomatoes yourself. But if you have some spare time, buy them fresh and exercise those knife skills.
I have to say, this little recipe right here is perfect in times when you have a hard day and you just want to eat something quick while watching your favorite sitcom. Believe me when I say this, it will brighten your day!
Now, it’s time for me to stop talking and let you start cooking, so have fun with it and let me know what came out of this pretty little dish!
Have a great day, guys!
