Baked Ham Penne

Always on the lookout to try something new. Found several recipes online that were similar to this on. Simple enough to make. Boys really liked it. I double the recipe and put half away for another night for a quick dinner. Froze very well. Recently made this but added some diced onion and diced green bell pepper, super yummy! I have made some notes on the sides.

Preheat oven to 425degrees. Cook pasta per box directions until just past the Al-dente stage. Heat your sauce, add your seasoning, ham, and one cup cheese. stir well, to get the cheese melted. Add onion and bell pepper. Drain your pasta and add to the sauce. Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 pan, smooth the top and sprinkle with remaining cup of cheese.
