Ingredients
To make the pasta dough
- 7 oz Italian '00' soft wheat flour (200g) or all purpose flour
- 2 eggs (large)
- 1 pinch salt
To finish the dish
- 7 oz Asiago cheese (200g) or gruyere, fontina etc cut into cubes
- 5 oz cooked ham (150g) cut into cubes. Leftover holiday ham works really well in this recipe.
- 2.5 oz butter (75g)
- salt to taste
Instructions
To make the pasta squares
- See step by step instructions below this recipe card to make pasta sheets
- Cut each sheet of pasta into 3x3cm (1.2in) squares. Place ready squares on a floured surface until all are ready. The squares don't need to be perfect just more or less the same size.
Finish, bake and serve.
- Cut the ham and cheese into small cubes. Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
- Cook the pasta squares in boiling salted water for 1-2 minutes until al dente. Drain and put in a bowl with melted butter and some cheese cubes. Add salt and mix carefully.
- Butter an oven dish and then make a layer of pasta squares in it. Cover this with pieces of ham and cheese and then make another layer and cover this in ham and cheese too.
- Bake your ham and cheese pasta squares in a preheated oven at 180°c (356°f) for about 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the top has browned slightly. Let your baked pasta rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- This recipe can be made with any good melting cheese such as Asiago, Gruyere or Fontina.
- Instead of making fresh pasta, you can use ready made lasagne sheets. Partly boil them in salted water, drain and cool. Then cut into small squares.
- Leftovers can be kept in the fridge in a sealed container for 1-2 days and reheated in the microwave.
