Heat a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the peeled onion, sliced, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often.

Add the diced ham and stir. Add the peas, stir, then add about 2/3 cup water (about 150 ml). Cover and cook for another 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted water. Add the cream to the skillet, then add the drained pasta and mix well. Serve immediately.
