Ham, Spinach, and Mostaccioli Casserole image

From Better Homes and Gardens, this is a great casserole, especially to feed a lot of people. It has a rich and creamy sauce, but works well using milk instead of cream too!

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I should have added more spices.
