CHEESY HAM AND NOODLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
• Prepare elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine cheeses and reserve 1/2 c. for later. Whisk soup, sour cream, milk and seasonings together in a large bowl. Add ham, 1 1/2 c. of cheese and pasta. Stir until combined. Pour into prepared dish.
• Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and top with reserved cheese. Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

HAM AND CHEESE PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Make pasta: Put a big pot of salted water onto boil on high heat for the pasta (4 quarts, 2 tablespoons salt). While the pasta water is heating, prep the other ingredients. Once the water has reached a rolling boil, add the pasta and stir so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Let the water return to a rolling boil and cook, uncovered, for 9 to 10 minutes, until the pasta is "al dente", cooked through but still slightly firm to the bite.
• Make roux: Melt the butter in a large (3 to 4 quart), thick-bottomed pot on medium heat. Add the minced garlic. Let the garlic sizzle for a few seconds. Add the flour and whisk so that any lumps are dissolved. Let the roux (flour and butter) bubble and cook for a minute or two.
• Make the sauce: Slowly add the milk and cream, a quarter cup at a time, whisking until incorporated after each addition. Increase the heat to medium high. Add 1⁄4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg and 1⁄2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. (You may want to increase these later to taste.) Add 1⁄2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Add half of the shredded Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, whisking until melted and incorporated into the sauce. Add 3/4 teaspoon of salt (again, you may want to increase this to taste). Stir in 1 cup of water (can use pasta cooking water if you want).
• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Combine pasta with sauce, ham, parsley, onion greens: Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the sauce. Add the ham. Add the chopped parsley and onion greens or chives. Gently stir to combine. Taste, and add more nutmeg, salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning to taste.
