Easy Ham-And-Asparagus Pasta

This looks like a one pan wonder! I haven't made it yet, but aim to very soon. I found it on the Better Homes and Gardens website.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  cups dry pasta (bow tie or rotini)
• 1 (10 ounce) package  cut frozen asparagus or 1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli
• 8  ounces cooked ham, cut into thin strips
• 1 (8 ounce) container  soft-style chive & onion cream cheese
• 1⁄3 cup milk
•  fresh chives (optional)

Directions

1. Cook the pasta according to package directions, adding the frozen asparagus the last 5 minutes and the ham the last 1 minute of the cooking time. Drain and return pasta to pan.
2. Stir together cream cheese and milk; add to the pasta mixture in the pan. Stir gently over medium heat until the mixture is heated through. If desired, garnish with fresh chives. Makes 4 servings.
