Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
Step 2: Meanwhile, combine the olive oil and shallot in a large pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is softened, 3-5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until mostly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cheese spread, mustard, ham, spaghetti and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Cook, tossing, until the spaghetti is coated with the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen (the pasta will absorb the sauce as it sits). Season with salt, add the parsley and toss again.
Step 3: Divide the spaghetti among shallow bowls. Spoon any remaining sauce on top and season generously with pepper.
