Directions
1Cook pasta in salted boiling water, according to package directions. When pasta has finished cooking to al dente, strain it and set it aside.
2While pasta is cooking, heat 1 Tbsp. butter on high in heavy-bottomed, high-sided pan; add ham and cook, stirring, until lightly browned.
3Add onions to pan and lower heat to medium. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes; then add red peppers. Continue to cook until onions and peppers are soft; then add garlic and cook for another minute or two.
4Add remaining 3 Tbsp. butter to pan; when butter has melted, add flour, stirring, until flour is fully saturated and there are no lumps of flour remaining (if necessary, add a little bit more butter).
5Add milk to pan slowly, stirring as you go, and allow it to cook another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
6To serve, portion pasta into 6 plates or bowls. Cover with sauce, and finish with grated Parmesan cheese.
