One-Pan Spaghetti with Ham and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Preparing the Ingredients. Prepare all the ingredients – we'll be cooking with them shortly ✨

Cooking the Spaghetti. In a larger pan, bring salted water to a boil over high heat and cook the spaghetti for about 8–10 minutes, until al dente.

Chopping the Onion. While the spaghetti is cooking, finely chop the red onion.

Slicing the Ham. Cut the ham into strips.

Draining the Spaghetti. Remove the spaghetti from the water and set aside, reserving some of the pasta water for later.

Frying the Ham. Add a little oil to the same pan, add the ham, and fry over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes, until lightly golden.

Sauteing the Onion. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes, until translucent and slightly golden.

Adding Garlic and Tomatoes. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (if larger, chop them beforehand) and sauté briefly over medium heat for about 1 minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Combining with the Spaghetti. Return the spaghetti to the pan and mix well. Add a little of the reserved pasta water, add the parmesan, season with salt and pepper, and stir over low heat for about 1 minute, until the sauce comes together.

Serving. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, and serve the spaghetti immediately.
