Ham and Pea Pasta

2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
2 cups onion, diced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup half and half or whipping cream

8 oz. gluten free brown rice noodles*

1 pound cooked ham, diced
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper

Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onions until golden brown, about 5 mins. Add broth, half-and-half, and noodles to skillet and bring to a boil. Add diced ham, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until noodles are tender.

If your cream sauce is not thick enough, stir together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of cold water. Pour into skillet. Season with plenty of salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Sauce should thicken immediately. Add peas and lemon juice to skillet and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

*You can also cook the noodles separately and combine with the sauce at the end.

This is so yummy and so easy!
