Use a wooden spoon and be sure to stir the sauce from the bottom and the sides of the pot. Let it come to a boil, then put the pot over simmering water and let it cook gently for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt & pepper. 2). Pasta: preheat the broiler. bring a large pot of water to boil, add tablespoon salt. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over med high heat. add ham, cooking for a minute or 2, stirring.

Spread pasta evenly in a 2 quart ovenproof casserole dish. spoon the sauce over the top, sprinkle remaining cheese.. cut remaining butter into bits and scatter over top.

This was a disaster. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was bland.

This was a bit too salty for my taste, but it was still a good recipe. I will definitely try it again with less salt.

I'm not a huge fan of ham, but this dish was still really good. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the cheese sauce was delicious.
