Baked ham and peas can be made with cheese, cracker crumbs, or a variety of vegetables and spices. This can be a simple dish, or as complex as desired. Gluten free pasta can be boiled ahead of time and added to make this a special casserole. Uncooked gluten free pasta does not bake well, so boil either to done, or almost done, before baking. A great leftovers dish that can be adjusted based on need and available ingredients. Without noodles, this dish is easily frozen in individual servings for chilly winter days. Perfect for days you just don't want to eat.
