Pasta with Cheese and Country Ham
To prepare a delicious baked pasta recipe with ham and cheese, it is essential to be well organized and to follow the steps carefully. We start by boiling the pasta. Choose your favorite pasta, whether it's penne, fusilli, or spaghetti, and put it to boil in a large pot of water. Make sure to add a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of oil to prevent sticking. Boil until al dente, meaning it should be slightly firm to the bite, which will take about 8-10 minutes, depending on the type of pasta.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, so it is ready when the pasta is cooked. In a bowl, finely grate the cheese and the cheese, making sure to use quality products to achieve a perfect taste. Cut the country ham into thin slices so that it integrates perfectly into the dish and gives it an authentic flavor.
After the pasta is cooked, drain it well and pour it into a greased baking dish with a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking. Now comes the fun part: start assembling the dish. Sprinkle a generous layer of grated cheese over the pasta, followed by the sliced ham. This will be the moment when the flavors combine and create an explosion of tastes in every bite.
In another bowl, prepare the sauce. Whisk the 3 eggs well, add salt to taste, then incorporate the sour cream and milk, mixing everything until it becomes homogeneous. This sauce will bind all the ingredients and give them a creamy and delicious texture. Pour the sauce evenly over the pasta, ensuring it soaks well.
Finally, sprinkle the grated cheese on top, giving the dish a golden and appetizing crust. Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the surface is nicely browned. When ready, take the dish out of the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve it warm, alongside a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
This is a simple yet very tasty recipe, ideal for a family dinner or to impress guests. Enjoy your meal! If you like my recipes, feel free to discover them on my blog!
