Step 1

Cook the spaghetti or pasta in a saucepan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a low heat. Gently fry the onion for 4–5 minutes, or until softened but not coloured. Add the garlic and chunks of ham and cook for 2–3 minutes more, stirring regularly.

Step 3

Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice. Add the cream cheese and pineapple chunks to the onion and garlic, along with half the juice. Cook together for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the pineapple pieces are hot. Add the remaining juice and heat through gently.

Step 4

Drain the pasta then return to the pan and add the ham and pineapple sauce. Season with a little salt and lots of black pepper. Toss together until the spaghetti is lightly coated in the sauce and serve immediately.
