Ham & Cheese cross collectively like peanut butter and jelly. That saltiness of the ham is mellowed my the creaminess of the cheese, and on the flip facet, the creaminess of the cheese is reduce with the aid of the saltiness of the ham. My children are big lovers of tortellini, so pairing that with ham and cheese for country wide Cheese Day .

While the only Pan Ham & Cheese Tortellini is finished cooking, you’re going to pinnacle it with a ton of cheese. half of of that cheese is stirred right in with the ham and pasta to create the sauce. The rest of the cheese is left proper on pinnacle of the pasta to soften and create that adorable golden crust underneath the broiler. Now if you’re negative to turning at the broiler for a few minutes you could simply cowl the pan with it’s lid or some foil and permit the cheese simply soften on it’s own. it'll take approximately 5-10 minutes. I advocate the broiler approach because the cheese gets ooey gooey and those golden brown mozzeralla bits. So proper!
