Cook the penne in salted water until al dente, then rinse. Sauté the diced onion in olive oil in a pan until translucent. Separate the eggs, mix the egg yolks with the sour cream, and season with salt (a little, as the ham is salty) and pepper. Cut the ham into small cubes. Add the pasta to the pan with the onions, reheat if necessary, then remove from the heat. Fold in the egg yolk and sour cream mixture (do not allow the pasta to cook further, or it will curdle). Fold in the ham and serve immediately.
