Ham & broccoli pasta bake with mushroom is a great mid-week dinner dish and one that can be prepared ahead of time, ready to pop into the oven.

Ham & broccoli pasta bake with mushrooms is one of those recipes that I’ve had lying around for years. You know those recipes that we’ve copied down from somewhere and adapted over the years. That dishes that are rarely made the same way twice! This pasta bake is a favourite in my family. It’s a lovely warming dish for this time of year. That’s the thing about a simple pasta bake, it’s something all the family enjoy eating. As with most baked pasta dishes, it can be made ahead of time and cooked when you’re ready to eat.

If you don’t like mushrooms, leave them out. I love mushrooms but my husband and children do not! However what is tend to do is cut the mushrooms large enough so that they can easily pick them out if necessary. I don’t like leaving the mushrooms out as the add flavour to the finished dish.

If you have no ham, substitute with chicken, or add in another vegetable. That’s what I like about a pasta bake, you can use what you have in the fridge. Aside from being a tasty and comforting dinner, ham broccoli & mushroom pasta bake can be prepared ahead of time. Simply take it out of the fridge when you get in and pop it in the oven when you need it. Pasta bakes are something my family all enjoy in the colder months of the year. A perfect dinner for cold October nights when all we want to do is hunker down indoors.

sauce
