Ingredients

  • 1 package Central Market Armoniche Pasta
  • 2 cups Orti di Calabria Tomato & Basil Sauce
  • 1 container fresh mozzarella Ciliegine
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F.
  • Heat a big pot of water to boiling, and cook the pasta 1-2 minutes less than the directions state. Don't forget to salt the water!
  • While the pasta cooks, drain the mozzarella, and cut the bites into fourths.
  • When the pasta is ready, drain and return to the pot. Stir in the tomato sauce.
  • Grab a 8x8 baking dish, lightly coat with olive oil, and pour in about half of the pasta and sauce.
  • Sprinkle the pasta with half of the ham, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Pour the rest of the pasta in the dish, and top with the remaining ham and cheese.
  • 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!
  • Let cool slightly and serve!
