Today, to distract myself from this situation that has now involved us all in some way or another, I cooked like crazy and this baked pasta with asparagus ham and smoked cheese is very tasty and was our daily meal!
Asparagus prosciutto and melting cheese are a very tasty idea for this dish that you can vary by adding mozzarella or asiago and opting for COOKED HAM instead of raw…
THE SMOKED CHEESE is a spinned paste cheese originating from Southern Italy and has a fresh taste that resembles mozzarella a bit and is unfortunately quite high in calories!
It is usually consumed raw, grilled, and served with grilled vegetables or placed on pizza or other savory leavened recipes.
I also suggest other recipes for tasty first courses like:

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE BAKED PASTA RECIPE WITH ASPARAGUS HAM AND SMOKED CHEESE
Clean the asparagus and cut them into not too small pieces.
Also slice the smoked cheese into cubes and the prosciutto into strips or… as you prefer! ^_*
Bring salted water to a boil in a saucepan and at the right time pour the sedanini macaroni as I did or some gramigna, penne or…
5 minutes before the end of cooking, add the asparagus to the water and continue for the necessary time.
While the pasta is cooking, place the pieces of prosciutto and smoked cheese in a large bowl.
When the pasta is cooked, drain it and place it in the bowl with the dressing, adding extra virgin olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper.
Mix well then pour the dressed pasta into the greased baking dish, sprinkling everything with grated cheese.
Now all that’s left to do is bake the baked pasta with asparagus ham and smoked cheese, letting it cook at 356°F for about 15 minutes, taking care in the last few minutes to set the oven to grill mode to get a nice and delicious crust!
And now let’s serve this tasty and appetizing dish at the table…
Enjoy your meal!

TODAY MAY 10, 2023, I fixed some words of the recipe and found the attachments above… I was about to delete them but after all they are to be remembered in case we ever find ourselves in a similar situation, so that whoever is in government understands well how to act towards citizens and I am not criticizing anyone! I have no skills thanks…
