Ingredients:

Serving

salt
12 oz penne or farfalle
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp dry mustard
2 cups milk
1 cup half-and-half
12 oz mild low-fat cheddar, shredded (about 3 cups)
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
3 oz diced smoked ham (about 3/4 cup)
1 1/2 cups crushed saltines (about 25)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook until just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Melt 3 Tbsp. butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour, mustard and 1/2 tsp. salt until smooth. Slowly whisk in milk and half-and-half and bring just to a simmer. Stir in cheese, a little at a time, until melted. Remove pan from heat and stir in peas, ham and pasta. Stir to coat with sauce.
Sprinkle cracker crumbs over top of pasta and dot with remaining 1 Tbsp. butter. Bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes.
