Best Baked Penne With Ham Peas And Jack Cheese Recipes
PENNE WITH PEAS, HAM AND CHEESE
No cook sauce that tastes like you spent some time on it. Any hard cheese will work, parmesan and peccarino both have worked well for me. Can lighten the dish using part skim ricotta if desired. Simple, easy and delicious. From Mark Bittmans "How to Cook Everything" with adaptions for our taste. This recipe can be halved to serve 2 people generously.

HAM & SWISS BAKED PENNE
As a kid I loved to the hot ham and Swiss sandwiches from a local fast-food restaurant. With its melty, gooey goodness, this bake makes me think of them. -Ally Billhorn, Wilton, Iowa

BAKED PENNE WITH THREE CHEESES
I don't believe in serving kids macaroni and cheese every day. It should be treated as an indulgence, because that's what it is. This is my version of the classic macaroni and cheese Xea's grandmother makes. Older kids can easily make this by themselves. Add a big green salad and they can have dinner ready before you get home from work!

CHEESY HAM-PENNE CASSEROLE
Rotini pasta may be used in place of penne, prep time does not include cooking the pasta --- if desired sprinkle 1-2 cups grated cheddar cheese on the last 3 minutes of baking time --- this is *very* good!
