Sunday: Macaroni and cheeses

Andrea requested something with pasta and cheese; I obliged.

I started by dicing some ham relatively small and browning it in a bit of olive oil. These got mixed with some partially cooked whole wheat penne, milk, grated alp cheeses, and some shredded sage leaves. I piled this goodness into a gratin dish, topped it with fried onions, and baked until the pasta was cooked through.

We ate this with spinach cooked with olive oil and garlic and a big green salad.
