Ham Pasta Bake with Pineapple

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Cook the pasta noodles according to package instructions, draining when they are al dente as the noodles will continue to cook in the oven. Set aside.
3. Saute the onion in the olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and ham and saute until onion becomes translucent. Remove from heat and stir in peas and pineapple.
4. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flakes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly stir in the milk. Cook and stir for a few more minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in parmesan cheese and half of mozzarella. Stir until melted and creamy. Add the ham mixture and pasta. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Spoon the mixture into a lightly oiled casserole dish, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
