1 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups fat free half-and-half
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
2 cups frozen peas and carrots
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Whisk together chicken broth, half-and-half, and flour in a bowl until smooth; pour into the pot. Stir in farfalle pasta, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
