Macaroni or Noodle Ham Bake

Just about everyone I know loves macaroni and cheese so I'm adding a new version that I think you might like. You can substitute regular macaroni with egg noodles for a bit of a heartier version.

Ingredients

butter for greasing your dish
12 ounces wide egg noodles
2 cups heavy cream
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons of flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups grated provalone cheese
3/4 cup grated parmasean cheese
3/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
4 ounces ham (diced) aprox 1 1/2 cups
2 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped)

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 450
grease a 9x13 pan with butter and set aside
cook the noodles or macaroni in a boiling pot of salted water until slightly tender
drain your noodles but do not rinse (set aside )
In a large bowl combine, cream,milk, flour, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper and stir
blend in 1/4 cup provalone 1/4 cup grated parmesean ,1/4 cup shredded mozerella ,ham and parsley
add the noodles and toss to evenly coat the mixture and add to the baking dish
In another bowl mix the remaining grated parmasean,provalone and shredded mozarella together and sprinkle on top
Bake about 20 minutes or until mixture is bubbles and cheese is a golden brown
Let set for about 10 minutes before serving
