>>95101078oh I see, it probably was fat, If you want a really simple recipe for next time, cook some pasta, drain the water, and put the cooked pasta back in the pot. add some ham (as much as you want and preferably diced), an egg and a cup of cream. stir and cook it for a while until the egg coating on your pasta starts to solidify. you can add salt and pepper too if the ham isn't salty enough for you. eating it with a little ketchup is also popular in my family
