Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb cavatappi pasta
salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups 2% low-fat milk
1/2 lb capicola, sliced into thin ribbons
1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
1 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated and divided
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 lb fresh mozzarella ball, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, salt the water and cook to al dente.
  • While the water is coming up to a boil for the pasta, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 T olive oil and the butter.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Short, stubby pasta like penne or rotini are ideal for this dish because they hold the sauce well. Avoid long, thin pasta like spaghetti or linguine, as they can be difficult to eat with a spoon.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a good quality ham. The ham is the star of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality product. Look for ham that is smoked or cured, and has a nice, salty flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. Cheese is what makes this dish so creamy and delicious. Use a good quality cheddar cheese, and be generous with the amount you use.
  • Add some vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to this dish. Some good options include diced carrots, celery, onion, or bell pepper.
  • Season the dish to taste. Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.

Conclusion:

Pasta ham hot dish is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make the best pasta ham hot dish ever.
