  • 1 container fresh mozzarella Ciliegine

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.

  4. When the pasta is ready, drain and return to the pot. Stir in the tomato sauce.
  5. Grab a 8x8 baking dish, lightly coat with olive oil, and pour in about half of the pasta and sauce.
  6. Sprinkle the pasta with half of the ham, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Pour the rest of the pasta in the dish, and top with the remaining ham and cheese.
  8. Place in oven, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is nice and melted and the corners of the dish are golden and crusty!
