HAM,SPINACH AND POTATO CASSEROLE

Ham,spinach and Potato Casserole image

I got this recipe out of one of those checkout, small Betty Crocker cookbooks. I think it's delicious and a good way to use up leftover ham and mashed potatoes. The first 5 ingredients and instructions are there if you're going to make instant potatoes, but you can skip that and use leftover mashed potatoes instead.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh spinach, flavorful ham, and tender mostaccioli pasta are essential.
Don't overcook the pasta. It should be al dente, slightly firm to the bite.
Sauté the spinach until it is wilted but still has some vibrant green color.
Use a good quality béchamel sauce. You can make your own or use a store-bought variety.
Layer the casserole carefully, starting with the pasta, then the spinach, ham, and béchamel sauce. Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients are used up.
Top the casserole with shredded mozzarella cheese and bake until golden brown and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
