1. Place 6 oz. uncooked pasta into rapidly boiling water in a medium tolarge pot. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Stir and then let cook for about 8minutes, until al dente (cooked, but still chewy, not mushy). While cookingyour pasta, prepare your cheese sauce. Melt 2 tablespoons butter ormargarine in a saucepan. Remove from heat and add 1/4 cup flour. Stir theflour and butter or margarine until blended. Now, add 1 1/2 cups milk and 11/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese. Return this mixture to the stove, add adash of salt, and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened andsmooth. Your pasta should be done now, and when it is done, drain the waterthrough a colander and return the cooked pasta to its original pan. Combinethe cooked cheese sauce with the cooked pasta. Add (2) 5 oz. cans oftender-chunk ham and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper. Stir together, andthen and an additional 1/2 cup milk (or desired amount for creaminess). Stircompletely, and then pour into a fairly large baking dish that has beensprayed with cooking oil. Bake in an oven that has been preheated to 350 for1/2 hour. Turn oven to broil, and brown the top for about 5 minutes, or toyour liking. Happy Easter (and day-after-Easter)
