Papa and I were going to trade cars so I didn't have to move car seats around. When he went to start my car, it wouldn't start. Someone I'm not naming names here (yes I am, it was my husband!) left a door open and the battery went dead.
So... I spent the morning with my friend Stacey taking the battery out of my car and over to Autozone to get charged. I got about 5 minutes to make a bed and then the girls were back from school.
I'm a little late on getting this post up, but it was delicious and you definitely will want to make this!
Ingredients:
1lb. penne, rigatoni or rotini
3 tbs of butter
3 tbs of flour
1 1/2 cups of chicken broth
1 1/2 cups of milk
1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
1 tbs granulated garlic
pinch of nutmeg
salt & pepper to taste
2 rotisserie chicken breasts, skinless and chopped into bite-size chunks
6 thin slices of deli ham chopped into bite size pieces
1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup of shredded swiss cheese
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare pasta according to package instructions, but only boil for 7 minutes. While pasta is cooking prepare the sauce. Melt butter over medium heat in a non-stick pan. Add flour and whisk until combined and the texture looks like wet sand. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the four taste to cook out. Add the chicken broth 1/2 cup at a time and whisk well until smooth. Add milk 1/2 cup at a time and continue to whisk until smooth. Add the garlic and parmesan and whisk until smooth, then add nutmeg to taste. Try the sauce at this point and see if you need salt. Add pepper and a pinch of nutmeg and remove from the heat. When pasta is cooked, drain return to pan and pour sauce over the top. Add the chicken and the ham and stir until combined. Transfer to a baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray. Top the pasta with the shredded cheeses, then place in the oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden. Voila!
