Leftover Ham

Have leftover ham from a holiday dinner? This is such an easy recipe for turning it into a yummy side dish. It’s like a pasta salad made with egg noodles.

How To Serve Ranch Noodles with Ham

I love to serve this creamy noodle dish as a side for grilled chicken, burgers, or steak. It also makes a great lunch with a side salad or fruit salad.

Recipe Substitutions

This recipe is totally adaptable. Here are some suggestions.

Instead of egg noodles, use penne pasta or macaroni.
Leave the peas out if you don’t like them. You can add some finely chopped broccoli or sliced sugar snap peas if you want to add something green.
For more cheese flavor, add some shredded cheddar cheese.
Finely diced red bell pepper is another great addition.

How To Make Spicy

If you want this recipe to be spicy, add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
