Ingredients
-
1 Cup unsalted butter, divided
1-2 large onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 ribs celery, chopped (about 1 cup)
2/3 C. all-purpose white flour
2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. dried basil leaves
14.5 oz. can low salt chicken broth
3 1/4 C. lowat (1%) milk

4 C. diced ham
2 C. Italian bread crumbs
Directions
makes 8-10 servings
Heat half the butter (1/2 C./1 stick) in 3-quart saucepan until melted. Add onion and celery and saute until onion is translucent. Add flour, spices and basil. Stir to combine, then heat on low to medium flame until bubbly. Add broth and milk. Stir frequently while bringing to a boil. Allow to boil 1 minute while stirring, so it can thicken.
Meanwhile, cook peas and noodles together for 5 minutes. Drain. Add the drained pasta and veggie back to the pasta pot. Once sauce is done, add it to the noodles and veggies. Add diced cheese and ham. Mix all together well in the pasta pot.
Dump the mixture into a 4-quart oblong casserole dish, or two smaller casserole dishes.
In a separate skillet, melt the remaining 1/2 cup butter with 2 cups Italian bread crumbs, mixing together until moistened. Sprinkle crumbs on top of casserole.
Bake at 350 F 45 minutes to 1 hour.
To make in advance, make recipe up to where you've dumped the mixture into the casserole dish. Do not make buttered bread crumbs. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. When ready to bake, put out on the countertop while making the buttered bread crumbs. Bake for 1 hour.
