Light Ham and Walnut Pasta

When you're in a hurry... when aren't you?

4 cups penne
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 sliced green onions, both the white and green parts
1 lemon, about 1 tsp zest and 1/4 cup juice 
1  1/2 cups cooked ham, sliced or chopped
2 handfuls of your favourite greens, like spinach or arugula
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Shredded parmesan and black pepper to serve

Heat olive oil to medium in a pan and add garlic and the white slices of green onion. Very lightly brown then turn heat to low and add the ham, the green slices of green onion, walnuts and lemon zest. Mix together and leave heat on low while the pasta cooks.

Once the pasta is ready, drain then toss with the olive oil mixture, along with the greens and lemon juice. Give it a few grinds of pepper and top with shredded parmesan cheese.
