# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
02 -
Sprinkle flour evenly over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir continuously to coat, then gradually whisk in chicken broth to avoid lumps. Slowly add half and half (or milk and cream) while stirring. Incorporate shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is creamy.
03 -
Add diced ham, frozen peas, and cooked spaghetti to the skillet. If the sauce appears thick, loosen with additional milk one tablespoon at a time. Toss gently to coat pasta evenly and ensure ingredients are well distributed. Heat through until everything is steaming hot and fully combined.
# Extra Tips:

For best results, shred cheddar cheese yourself to achieve a smoother melt in the sauce.
