Preheat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius (450 degrees Fahrenheit) using conventional ovenproof cooking (conventional oven). Mix the tomato paste with a little cream in the casserole dish. Add the remaining cream and season generously. Add the chopped onion, raw pasta, and ham. Add enough water to just cover the pasta and mix well. Sprinkle with cheese. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes. Note: There are many recipes for pasta and ham casserole. Since they’re all too complicated for me, here’s my optimized version. Its unique flavor is combined with its quick and easy preparation.
