Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 pound(s) baked ham slice or leftover ham
  • 1 box(es) 3-cheese tortelli, 9 oz.
  • 1 cup(s) Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup(s) skim milk
  • 1 package(s) cheddar cheese, 8 oz.
  • 1/8 stick(s) butter
  • 1 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour

Instruction

  • Cook tortelli as per package directions; set aside (this product has 3 kinds of cheese inside the pasta). Cut ham into bite-sized pieces; set aside.
  • Mix butter and flour to make a rue in a saucepan stirring slowly. Blend in milk and cheese. Do not boil.
  • Combine ham and pasta in an 8" by 8 " glass casserole dish. Pour liquid cheese combination over pasta.
  • Place bread crumbs in a frying pan. Heat slightly to brown the topping (Panko bread crumbs are made from the center of a white bread without crust). Taste is crunchier than traditional bread crumbs.
  • Put topping over the pasta and ham to go into the pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
