Posted in response to a recipe request. Found in an online search. The amounts of pasta and Alfredo sause were not designated, so I estimated. Prep time and servings is also an estimate. A positive spin would be: The recipe calls on one's cooking knowledge and judgment to complete this dish! :D It sounds good and I'm going to try this soon

3 oz chicken breasts, skinned, boned, & cubed
2 oz ham, cubed
1/2 oz vegetable oil
1/2 tsp garlic, minced
1/4 tsp parsley, chopped
4 oz penne rigate, cooked

2 cups alfredo sauce
