Steps:

Cut asparagus in thirds; steam asparagus for about 2 to 3 minutes to start cooking process, remove from heat; set aside. Combine Mozzerella and Cheddar cheese, set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl; whisk the soup, cream cheese, milk and wine together. Add chives, broccoli, asparagus, carrots and 2 cups of ham; stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/2 of the mozzearella and cheddar cheese and noodles. Toss to combine.
3. Pour mixture into prepared casserole dish; bake for 25 minutes, uncovered; remove from oven, add remaining 1 cup of ham over top of casserole and top with swiss cheese slices; sprinkle remaining shredded cheese over swiss cheese. Cover and bake an additional 5 to minutes until cheese is melted.
