Start a pot of water boiling for the pasta and cook it according to the package directions. Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Once it's melted, add the flour and wisk a little to make yourself a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes then wisk in the milk. Let it thicken a little then start stirring in the cheese. Next add the salt, pepper and nutmeg along with the diced ham. Voila - a tasty pasta sauce.
Once your pasta is cooked, strain it then put it back into the pot. Pour in the sauce and about half of the spinach and give it a stir to coat the pasta and wilt the spinach. Add the second half of the spinach, let it get wilty then serve topped with the diced tomatoes and a little freshly cracker black pepper.
