Gratineed Tomato And Ham Rigatoni


1. Boil pasta in a 4- to 5-quart pot of well-salted water until al dente, then drain. Reserve pot.

2. Turn on broiler.

3. Melt butter in pot over medium heat until foam subsides. Add flour and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add milk to pot with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring over medium low heat, until sauce is thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup parmesan, then remove from heat and stir in tomatoes, ham, and pasta.

4. Transfer to a 2-quart shallow baking dish (not glass). Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan and broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until golden brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes.
