Cheese, Ham And Vegetable Pasta Bake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 ounce butter
    6 ounces pasta, shapes
    1 onion, chopped
    1 zucchini, chopped
    6 ounces baby corn, halved
    3 tomatoes, chopped
    10 ounces pasta sauce
    4 ounces cooked ham, cut into pieces
    6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
    1 tablespoon basil, chopped or 1 tablespoon oregano, chopped, plus a few sprigs to garnish
    salt & freshly ground black pepper
    2 eggs
    10 ounces Greek yogurt
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F Lightly grease a large baking dish or individual baking dishes with a teaspoon of the butter.
    Cook the pasta shapes in plenty of boiling, lightly salted water until just tender, about 8 - 10 mins, or according to pack instructions.
    At the same time, melt the butter in a large saucepan and saute the onion, zucchini and baby corn for 5 minutes.
    Thoroughly drain the pasta and add to the vegetables. Stir in the tomatoes and the pasta sauce. Add the ham, then cut half the cheese into small cubes and stir through the pasta mixture with the chopped fresh herbs. Season to taste, then transfer to the prepared dish and level the top.
    Beat the eggs and yogurt together. Grate the remaining cheese and stir it into the egg mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Pour evenly over the pasta. Bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden brown. Serve, garnished with fresh herb sprigs.
