Transport your taste buds to the Greek Isles with a dish featuring olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and creamy Havarti cheese.
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups uncooked bow-tie (farfalle) pasta (8 oz)
  • 1 envelope (1.8 oz) white sauce mix
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 1 box (9 oz) asparagus cuts
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained, chopped
  • 1 cup diced (1/4 to 1/2 inch) cooked ham
  • 1 cup shredded Havarti cheese (4 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives, if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Prepare pasta according to package instructions.
  • In a 3-quart saucepan, whisk together sauce mix and milk until smooth. Stir in butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine pasta, asparagus, tomatoes, and ham with the sauce, then transfer the mixture to a casserole dish. Bake covered for 35 to 45 minutes, or until bubbly.
  • Once the casserole is out of the oven, generously sprinkle with cheese and bake for an additional 3 minutes until the cheese is perfectly melted. Finish by topping with olives for a burst of flavor.
