Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Cook the pasta in a saucepan of boiling water for 9 minutes, then drain and set aside. It will be slightly al dente at this point.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a saucepan, then stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in a small amount of the milk and whisk well to combine. Continue adding the milk slowly, whisking as you go, until all the milk has been added and the sauce has thickened. Remove from the heat.
Step 3
Stir through the mustard and half of the cheese until melted. Season to taste.
Step 4
Add the cooked pasta to a large bowl along with the chopped ham, then pour over the sauce and mix well.
Step 5
Tip the mixture into a 20 x 30cm ovenproof dish, then crumble over the leftover stuffing and the rest of the cheese.
Step 6
Wrap up well in tin foil and cling film, label and freeze flat or if cooking now, Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan. Cook the pasta bake for 25–30 minutes. If cooking from frozen, preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan. Cook the pasta bake for 25–30 minutes.
