How to Make Easy Baked Rigatoni With Ham Mushrooms And Feta

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butter a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  3. Cook 1 pound of rigatoni pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water (2-3 tablespoons salt) until al dente. (Undercook slightly, as it will continue cooking in the oven).
  4. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, combine: 1 cup diced ham, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained, 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced), 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese, 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
  6. Pour 1 cup of heavy cream over the ham mixture and stir to combine.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to the baking dish.
  9. Pour the ham and cheese mixture over the pasta, stirring gently to coat.
  10. Sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese (optional).
  11. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  12. Bake for 15 minutes.
  13. Remove foil, stir the pasta to ensure even cheese distribution.
  14. Bake uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
