  First, prepare a large pot. Pour water for the pasta into the pot, add a little salt, and bring to a boil. Once the water in the pot starts boiling, add the pasta and cook it over medium heat according to the package instructions (we cooked the pasta for 17 minutes).

  Meanwhile, cut the chicken ham into thin strips and finely chop the green part of the spring onion along with the yellow onion.

  Then preheat the oven to 190–195 °C and prepare a deep oven-safe pan (Ø 27 cm). In the pan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

  After cooking, drain the pasta and then add it to the pan with the sautéed ham and onion.
