Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups fettuccine noodles (1/2 package), (cooked)
  • 3 Tablespoons salted butter, (divided use)
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups fully cooked ham, (cubed)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

Instruction

  • Prepare fettuccine noodles according to package directions. You'll be cooking half the package of noodles.
  • While noodles are cooking, preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray an 11x7-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt 2 Tablespoons salted butter over medium heat.
  • Once butter is melted, add in all-purpose flour. Whisk together well until a thick paste forms.
  • Stir in milk. Turn heat up to medium-high. It will start thickening pretty quickly once you turn the heat up. Keep whisking.
  • Once you see bubbles, turn the heat back down to medium and add shredded cheese. If it gets too thick, just splash a bit more milk in there.
  • Season with garlic salt and pepper.
  • Next, stir in cubed ham, frozen peas and cooked fettuccine noodles. Mixture will be thick. Stir as best you can to coat all the noodles with the cheese sauce.
  • Pour combined mixture into prepared baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a small skillet, over medium-high heat, melt one tablespoon butter. Then stir in bread crumbs.
  • Stir constantly (so they don't burn) until bread crumbs start to brown. Then turn off heat.
  • Sprinkle browned bread crumbs over the noodles.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 20-25 minutes (until bubbly.)
