Ham Di Parma

Recipe #148288 | 40 min | 40 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: KITTENCAL

This is a huge favorite Italian-style dish in my house, and a great dish to use up any leftover spaghetti, if the pasta is cold, just warm in the microwave first until hot with the butter, and then place it into the baking dish. All ingredients may be adjusted to taste.

    Kitz, Super creamy and tasty casserole. Both my sons were here for dinner and enjoyed this Italian-style dish. I did bake it in the oven for about 15 minutes while preparing a salad; then broiled top. YUM! Made for tag game; and glad I chose this!

    My hubby and I LOVED this dish! It was very easy to prepare, however I was befuddled when I came to the end and it didn't mention the mushrooms and when to re add them to the mix. I rightly assumed it was before the final 15 min simmer but I thought it should have been included in the directions A GREAT recipe Kitten. I also used shredded Locatelli instead of all parmesean. I used black olives instead of green and pimento as well.
