Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 500 g pasta (spirelli)
• 200 g ham, cooked
• 1 can mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 onion(s)
• 1 bell pepper(s) (color as desired)
• 2 cups sour cream
• 400 g cheese (Gouda, grated)
• Oil, for frying
• salt and pepper
• curry
• Paprika powder, for seasoning

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Preheat oven to 220°C (top and bottom heat). Cook the pasta as directed on the package. During this time, peel the onions, wash the bell peppers, and dice both, along with the ham. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the onions until translucent. Then add the bell peppers, ham, and mushrooms and sauté them as well. Add 1 cup of sour cream and season with salt, pepper, curry, and paprika. Then add the grated Gouda, reserving some (depending on the size of the casserole dish) for sprinkling. Add the pasta to the pan and stir in. (If you don’t have a large pan like I do, use a large bowl to mix all the ingredients together.) Then transfer everything to a casserole dish and spread the remaining cup of sour cream over the top. Finally, sprinkle the Gouda over the top and place the casserole in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-40 minutes, depending on the desired degree of browning.
