Notes

1. If you were unable to work almost simultaneously with both pasta and sauce like in the recipe, and your pasta gets ready a while before your stir fry Stir does, add in a table spoon of oil into the drained pasta to keep it from drying out and sticking together.
2. The Ham in this recipe can be substituted with any meat of your choice like sausages, hot dogs, bacon bits etc
