Step-by-Step Instructions for Ham Tetrazzini
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter melts and bubbles. Add ½ cup of diced organic onion, stirring occasionally for about 2-3 minutes, until the onions become soft and translucent. Incorporate 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, stirring well to combine and cook the flour for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 1½ cups of organic chicken broth to avoid lumps while the mixture thickens, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Slowly stir in ½ cup of organic half and half, mixing until fully incorporated. Add 1½ cups of shredded organic cheddar cheese to the sauce, continuing to stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is silky smooth.
- Incorporate 1 cup of cubed ham, ½ cup of frozen peas, and ½ of a 16 oz box of cooked thin spaghetti into the skillet. Gently toss all the ingredients together until the pasta is well-coated with the creamy sauce.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the Ham Tetrazzini mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and bubbling.
- Once baked, remove the Ham Tetrazzini from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, perhaps with a side salad or crusty bread.

Notes
To maintain the texture of the spaghetti, mix gently when combining pasta and sauce. Storage tips include keeping leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
