There's a contest for a free ham and to enter you have to link to your ham recipe, so here's my favorite:
1 cup of cubed ham
2 cups whole wheat elbow pasta, cooked (any shape works but I like the elbow best)
1 can cheddar soup (you can use other cream soups but add about a cup of shredded cheese)
1 small package frozen broccoli (I like lima beans too)
Seasoned bread crumbs for topping
Mix first four ingredients together, sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes.

Deb's Mexican Pasta w/ Veggies
I was going to make myself some Penne today in the more or less Italian style (translate that to Ragu). I had pulled out a roll of ground turkey that I THOUGHT was Italian seasoned. It turned out to be taco seasoned so I decided to experiment and here it is.
Mexican Pasta w/ Veggies
Box of whole wheat pasta - I used Penne but any whole wheat pasta should work
1 lb Taco seasoned ground turkey or 1 lb ground turkey and 1 packet taco seasoning
1 can Nacho Cheese soup (non-negotiable)
1 can tomato soup or small can tomato sauce
1-2 cups cooked beans or 1 can beans (I used pinto)
Veggies which can be a combination of any frozen veggie that suits your mood, celery, peppers, onion or any leftover veggies. How much you use is up to you, I usually use a total of a cup or two of veggies in this type of dish.(I used frozen broccoli, celery and onion)
Cook the pasta as directed and drain
Saute the onions, peppers and celery if being used then brown ground turkey in same pan
Cook frozen veggies in your preferred method, heat beans and any leftovers your adding
Put all this and the two cans of soup back in the pot you cooked your pasta in heat together then serve.
I live alone and this makes a lot. I freeze things like this in small plastic containers and it's perfect for when I don't feel like cooking.

Jenny's Pasta Sauce
My daughter, Jenny, hates spaghetti. It goes back to a childhood... ummm... incident that we won't go into right now, ok???
Anyway, her husband and sons love spaghetti so she had to compromise. According to her, as long as there's a lot of "stuff" in the sauce she can somehow manage to eat it. Although the ingredients vary (she is her mothers daughter you know) this is the basic recipe:
Jenny's Pasta Sauce
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 lb ground beef or bulk Italian Sausage or 1/2 lb of each
1 medium onion chopped
1 medium pepper (color doesn't matter) seeded and chopped
2 or 3 stalks celery, chopped
1 small zucchini or yellow squash halved and sliced
1 small can mushrooms or equivilent fresh
1 or 2 small cloves of garlic, chopped
1 can stewed tomatoes
Saute onions, garlic, pepper and celery until onions are almost clear, brown meat, add squash, mushrooms, stewed tomatoes and jar of spaghetti sauce. Sometimes she doubles or even triples the recipe and freezes it. This way it's ready whenever the family wants spaghetti.
She tells me my youngest grandson picks out the squash so sometimes she chops it up very small so he won't know whats in there. She also sometimes uses mashed up cooked carrots to add an extra shot of veggies to it. She says she just uses whatever she has at the time so like many of my recipes this one can be very flexible. (She also says she doesn't use celery but I like it so I'm leaving it in there)
