Ham and Cheese Bowtie.

I got this recipe from http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Ham--n--Cheese-Bow-Ties

It was SUPER easy to make. My kids are big fans of bowtie noodles with butter and parmesan cheese so i thought this one would be worth trying.

Ingredients

• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
• 2-1/2 cups (10 ounces) shredded Colby cheese
• 2 cups uncooked bow tie pasta, cooked and drained
• 6 to 8 ounces fully cooked ham, julienned
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

• In a large saucepan, saute garlic in butter. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Stir in the mustard and Colby cheese; cook and stir until cheese is melted. Add pasta and ham; stir until coated.
• Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 4-6 servings.

I didnt think my kids would eat the Ham, because they like to turn their nose at different looking things in meals. Shockingly, they loved it! They both ate their whole plate full.

I however, did not like this, haha. The cheese tasted real funny to me, could be because of baby in utero but I had trouble finishing my plate.

and Sorry, no picture of this one. Theres a picture following the link up top though.

Happy Cooking!
