Pasta pie
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Unlike many other pies, this one should be served hot, straight from the oven! It's filling, aromatic (thanks to the ham), and very cheesy! The filling is made with eggs and cream, although cream can be replaced with milk—this won't affect the quality of the pie! So, take a look. The ready dish can now be served.

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. Use only pasta made from hard wheat varieties, preferably large shapes like penne. You can use any cheese you like, choose according to your taste, but make sure it melts well in the oven. Put water for cooking pasta on the stove, add salt and bring to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package (approximately 10 minutes).
