Spaghetti Ham Pie

6 ounces dried spaghetti

2 cloves minced garlic

1/2 an onion, chopped

2.5 T. olive oil

1/4 c. flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. dried Italian herbs

1.5 c. milk

3/4 c. half and half (I use the fat free kind)

3/4 c. chopped ham

3/4 c. grated Parmesan

1 medium chopped tomato, drained

1. Cook spaghetti according to directions and drain and set aside.

2. Saute onions in olive oil until soft. Add garlic and saute. Add salt, pepper and flour. Cook one minute, stirring constantly until oil is absorbed by flour. Gradually add milk and half and half. Stir until thickened. Stir in Italian herbs, ham, spaghetti, tomato and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan.

3. Spoon mixture into a greased pie pan. Top generously with remaining Parmesan. Bake uncovered at 425 for 20 to 22 minutes.

Makes 6 servings.
