Ingredients

• 400 grams rigatoni pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 250 grams white mushrooms, sliced
• 200 grams cooked ham, diced
• 400 grams crushed tomatoes, canned
• 100 milliliters heavy cream
• 150 grams feta cheese, crumbled
• 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and grease a large baking dish with a bit of olive oil.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rigatoni pasta until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and tender.

Step 5

Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

Step 6

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir well. Add the heavy cream, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Combine the cooked rigatoni with the sauce in the skillet, making sure the pasta is evenly coated.

Step 8

Pour half of the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the crumbled feta and half of the grated parmesan over the pasta.

Step 9

Add the remaining pasta mixture on top, followed by the remaining feta and parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling.

Step 11

Garnish the baked rigatoni with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
