Cut the ham into thin strips and place them in a large bowl. I simply take the ham, roll it, and then cut it into thin strips. This is quicker! Loosen the ham in the bowl with two forks. Bring the salted water for the pasta to a boil. At the same time, sauté the spring onions, cut into small rings, in a pan with melted butter over low heat. Mix with a little salt and the granulated stock. When the water is boiling and the pasta has been added, take 2-3 small ladles of the boiling pasta water, add it to the pan with the spring onions, and cook for a while longer. The spring onions shouldn’t get too soft. Then stir in the crème fraîche and reduce it a little longer over low heat. Cook the pasta until al dente, then drain it, add it to the bowl with the ham, and mix the two together. Pour the spring onions over the spring onions, mix everything together, and serve immediately. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve with tomato or cucumber salad, or a mixed salad of tomatoes and cucumbers, perhaps with tuna.
