Pasta in a white wine cream sauce with ham, tomatoes, and spinach…

Cook the pasta and drain. Meanwhile, cut the cooked ham and Gouda into small pieces and chop the onion very finely. Deseed and cut the tomatoes into eighths. Briefly heat the ham, spinach, tomatoes, and onions in a little oil in a pan. Pour in the white wine and bring to a boil. Add the spices and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cream and milk. Let everything simmer gently for about 3 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese until it has dissolved. Then add the pasta to the sauce, simmer, and stir in the diced Gouda until it forms strings. Season to taste, reduce the heat, and if desired, place a sixth slice of cheese (diced) on top of the pasta until it melts. French white bread goes very well with this. Tips: If you prefer a lower-fat version, you can use more milk or Rama Cremefine instead of cream. You can also omit the ham for a very tasty vegetarian dish. If you can’t find Chinese garlic, simply use two cloves of regular garlic. Don’t use creamed spinach! Otherwise, use a little less cream.
