Cheesy Baked Pasta with Ham
This easy Cheesy Baked Pasta with Ham recipe kept us feeling warm and cozy as we watched the snow fall outside.
What better comfort food when you get 8 inches of snow than something with cheese and pasta, right?!
Happy Snow Day!!!
This is everything you will need to make this dish.
Which gets bonus points for being super simple to prepare.
How to make Cheesy Baked Pasta with Ham
Start by boiling the pasta according to the package directions.
Make sure to add salt to the water.
As the pasta boiled I cut a pound of ham.
I went with ham steak because I wanted them to be thick, but any deli ham would work too.
This is a fabulous dish to make if you have leftover ham from a holiday celebration as well.
Drain the pasta and put it back into the same pot.
Add the alfredo sauce and milk first.
I actually added the alfredo sauce and put the milk into the alfredo jar.
Shake it a few times and it gets every bit of sauce from the jar.
Then add a cup of frozen peas, shredded mozzarella, and the diced ham.
Stir it all together and put in a 9×13 casserole dish.
The topping is Ritz crackers that I crushed, mixed with some melted butter, and spread evenly over the top.
Cheesy Baked Pasta with Ham bakes in a 375 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
This was kid and adult approved with everyone in the family đŸ™‚
Surprisingly my favorite part was the peas, as my son said “they are fun to eat and pop in your mouth”!
