I came up with this recipe one night when I had to stretch leftover ham to feed my family of five. I added pasta and just "built" the recipe as I went along. My family loves it! —Kathleen Mancuso, Niskayuna, New York

Had a bag of fresh broccoli and cauliflower, some left over ham, and was looking for a way to use it up. I steamed the bag of veggies with some red pepper and a carrot, then mixed the ham in with the sauce which I made exactly as the recipe called for. Mixed in the penne, topped with shredded swiss, and baked for 30 min. Excellent flavor. Baking helped thicken the sauce, and the swiss added a nice topping.
