When there are around 20 minutes left bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat then add in the pasta, cook according to package directions and then drain.
Once the squash is done use an immersion or regular blender to blend it until it becomes smooth. Stir in the cheese then add in to the cooked pasta and ham in a large bowl. Give it a final taste test, there should be enough salt from the broth and ham but if not add in a little bit now. Serve steaming hot.
