  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Short pasta shapes like penne, rotini, or macaroni are best for this dish. They hold the sauce well and are easy to eat.
  • 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 won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Use a flavorful ham. A good quality ham will make all the difference in this dish. Look for a ham that is smoked or cured and has a nice, salty flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. This recipe is very versatile, so you can add any vegetables that you like. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and carrots.
  • Make sure to use a good quality cheese. The cheese is what will bind all of the ingredients together and give the dish its creamy texture. Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
  • Season the dish to taste. This dish can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, and black pepper.

Conclusion:

Ham and pasta is a classic combination that is always a crowd-pleaser. This recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this classic dish. It's perfect for a potluck or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
