HAM, ASPARAGUS, AND PASTA CASSEROLE
I have no idea where this came from, but I'm pretty sure I tweaked it from some cookbook or another. This is not only easy, it's incredibly tasty. Not too heavy, and doesn't take long in the oven so it's not bad for a summertime casserole.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh asparagus, flavorful ham, and a creamy sauce made with quality cheese will make all the difference in this casserole.
- Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be tender-crisp, so be careful not to overcook it. Blanch the asparagus for 2-3 minutes, or until it is bright green and tender.
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese or a creamy Gruyère cheese will add a lot of flavor to the casserole. You can also use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar and Parmesan.
- Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of the casserole together. Make sure to use enough sauce to coat all of the ingredients.
- Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve the casserole hot: Ham, asparagus, and pasta casserole is best served hot out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Ham, asparagus, and pasta casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. With its creamy sauce, tender asparagus, and flavorful ham, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
