Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

For the pasta, bring plenty of water with the clear broth to a boil and cook the pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and fry the ham cubes until crispy. If you like, you can add a light peppery touch to the ham at this point. Add the frozen peas to the ham in the pan and toss for a few minutes to cook. Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the broth and setting it aside. Briefly stir the crème fraîche or legere or sour cream into the peas and ham, adding a little broth from the pasta if needed to achieve the desired consistency. Then add the pasta and stir well. Season to taste and enjoy!
