Ham and Cheese Pasta Bake
I adore this recipe. Found it on allrecipes.com. It's easy to make since the pasta cooks while it bakes. And I use the minced garlic from the jar and buy the cubed ham from the market. If you're going the easy route, might as well go all the way! This last time I tried switching the pasta to penne (not that you can see it with all the cheese in the picture), and some of the pasta was a bit more al dente than it should've been, but it was still tasty.
Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta
1 (26 ounce) jar onion and garlic spaghetti sauce
1 pound thickly sliced honey baked ham, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine dry pasta, spaghetti sauce, ham, garlic, onion powder and pepper. Fill sauce jar with water, and pour over mixture. Mix well, and spoon into 9x13 inch casserole dish. Cover tightly with foil.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes. Carefully remove foil, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
