Preparations

Cook the pasta:
Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot. Cook 7 oz (200 g) of elbow pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Mix the ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta with the diced ham and pineapple. Mix gently to combine.

Add the cream:
Stir in the sour cream until the pasta and other ingredients are well coated. If the mixture is too thick, add a little milk or extra cream to reach the desired consistency.

Season:
Add salt, bouillon, and black pepper to taste. For a fresh twist, add a splash of lime juice, if desired.

Refrigerate:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve:
Serve in bowls, garnished with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
