Ham and Basil-Walnut Pesto Pasta

Every new year comes with lots of resolutions, and of course every year I tend to make the same resolutions: be more fiscally responsible and to have a healthier diet. This recipe represents both.

Of course after any large meal you always have leftovers and our Christmas meal was no exception. Since we had a great deal of ham leftover, my husband came up with an excellent recipe: Ham and Basil-Walnut Pesto Pasta. The sweetness of the ham is an excellent complement to the garlic and basil in the pesto.

The pesto portion of this recipe is not a traditional pesto because it doesn’t have any cheese. I omitted the cheese in order to make it more diet friendly.
