Напрямки

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, butter, and parsley, set aside.

Cook the pasta shells al dente according to package directions. Drain well.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter, flour, and seasonings over medium heat and cook for 1 minute.

Gradually add in milk, half and half, and Dijon, whisking until smooth after each addition. Once all of the milk/cream is added, whisk while bringing to a boil over medium heat. Allow to boil for 1 minute.

Remove from heat and add 2 ½ cups cheddar, gruyere cheese, and parmesan cheese. Whisk until smooth.

Toss the cheese sauce with cooked pasta and ham and transfer to a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumb topping over the casserole and top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese.

Bake for 22-26 minutes or until heated through and topping is browned. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
