The most wonderful leftovers to have after Christmas is gammon or ham. There’s just so much you can do with it (have a look at my gammon recipes from last year). I had to make gammon for a Christmas shoot recently and had quite a bit leftover and wanted to do something simple but delicious with it. I decided to make a pasta bake for dinner and added sweet petit pois (baby peas) because honestly, ham and peas are a match made in Heaven!
I made a very simple white sauce which I flavoured with freshly ground white pepper and nutmeg and then added the leftover gammon and blanched peas. Mixed with macaroni (or other pasta of your choice) and topped with lots of fior di latte and fresh Parmesan then baked until golden and bubbling. So scrumptious! In fact, I would suggest you ensure you have leftovers just so you can make this pasta the day after Christmas.
