Macaroni with Ham and Cheese Recipe

Ingredients:
• 1 3/4 pounds (800 g) penne or similar ribbed pasta
• 1 pint (500 ml) cream
• 1 3/4 (450 ml) cups fairly fluid béchamel sauce
• 1 pound (450g) cooked ham (the kind one purchases in a deli as a cold cut), thinly sliced and shredded
• 3 cups (150 g) grated Parmigiano
• 1/2 cup (100 g) unsalted butter
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 400F (200 C).

Lightly salt a pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook the pasta; drain it while it's still quite al dente. In the meantime prepare the remaining ingredients and grease a largeoven-proof dish with some of the butter.

Upon draining the pasta, combine it with the remaining butter, the cream, half the grated Parmigiano, and the ham. Transfer the pasta to the baking dish, spreadthe béchamel sauce over it, and dust it with the remaining grated cheese. Heat the dish through in the oven for about 10 minutes (don't let the cheese overbrown or it will become bitter) and serve.You can also run the dish under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the cheese.
