Hearty baked pasta pie with savory ham pieces.
Ingredients:
  • Vegetable oil, to grease
  • 15.00 gm cornflour
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) fat-reduced milk
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large garlic clove, crushed
  • 200g button mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 280g maccheroni 44 pasta (Barilla brand)
  • 260g bottled roasted red peppers (Garden Fresh brand), drained, cut into thin strips
  • 100g (97% fat-free) shaved or sliced leg ham, chopped
  • 125.00 ml loosely packed chopped fresh continental parsley
  • 8 green shallots, trimmed, chopped
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 egg whites, whisked lightly
  • Bought tomato and basil pasta sauce (optional), heated, to serve
  • Green salad, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grease a 22cm springform pan with oil and line the base with non-stick baking paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine cornflour and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, bring remaining milk, onion, garlic, and mushrooms to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
  • Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and transfer to a large heatproof bowl.
  • Combine the mushroom mixture with the pasta, peppers, ham, parsley, and green shallots. Season with salt and pepper, then gently mix together using a large metal spoon until well combined.
  • Gently whisk the eggs, egg whites, and cornflour together with a fork. Combine with pasta mixture, mix well, and transfer to a lined pan. Press down firmly using the back of a spoon. Cover the pan with non-stick baking paper, scrunching it firmly around the edges for a good seal.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the center is set. Let it cool for 30 minutes before removing the outer ring from the pan. Slice into wedges and enjoy with pasta sauce (if desired) and salad.
