What to do with those Easter Ham leftovers,..

Ham and Pea Pasta

Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked farfalle (bow tie) pasta - I used shells, use whatever you have.
1 pound cooked ham, cut into bite-size pieces
frozen peas, drained (1/2 bag)
1/2 cup milk
ground black pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - I just substituted a cup of Mexican shredded cheese

Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over medium heat, and cook the pasta for about 8 minutes, until tender. Drain, and return to pot over low heat.
Lightly mix in the ham, peas, and milk, and sprinkle in the pepper and garlic powder. Stir in the Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and cook about 5 minutes, until the cheese melts and the mixture is bubbling.
