This was wonderful. My only change would be that you need to saute the onions for about 4-5 minutes, not 2. You can omit the salt. Stick to it being 1/2lb ziti, not a full pound as others receommneded. I think they didnt let the sauce boil and thicken enough so there was more sauce than the recipe intends. So make sure you let it boil enough and thicken. For me, that was about 3-4 minutes of boiling. And the bread topping really made the dish. i would not substitute this as others did for bread crumbs. While I am sure theirs was still good, the topping really is wonderful. You could add some more cayenne as suggested. I agree that smaller pieces of ham would be better than larger ones. And I would imagine peas or brocolli would be a lovely addition.

I tried this a couple of nights ago and have to say that I may never go back to my old way of making mac and cheese. This was a perfect combination of flavors. Next time I will probably add a veggie to the mix. Great recipe, I would highly recommend.

I tried this last night and my wife and I almost ate the whole thing. Had to save some for our daughter when she got home. Even though she had eaten already our daughter tried it (she's a very picky eater. She loved it too. At $19 a pound, I don't think I'll be making this too often though.

This is a very lovely dish. I added frozen broccoli florets and fresh snow peas after stirring in the milk. I also used finely sliced prosciuto instead of ham which I layered in the middle and on the top. For the crust I used seasoned italilan breadcrumbs as I was out of regular bread. The breadcrumbs and the cheese made a lovely crust on the prosciuto that my 11 year old loved. After baking the sauce is almost like a creamy alfredo and it's just delicious. I'll be making it again this week. I did use twice the amount of noodles called for and it was perfect. It reminded me very much of a dish I like to get at Macaroni Grill. Add some chicken and shrimp and it would be a dead ringer!

Being a mac and cheese fanatic, I love to try new recipes for the dish. This recipe was delicious. The only change I made was using a pinch more cayenne. Also, next time I would coarsely chop the ham because I think it'd be easier to serve. Definately a keeper.

My husband and I absolutely loved this recipe! We thought it was a little rich but if we were to add more noodles next time it would work a bit better since there was so much sauce left and the noodles would even it out a bit more. Definitely will make it again!

I made this recipe and it was soooo good. I used plain (no seasoning Panko bread crumbs instead of the three slices of white sandwich bread. I didn't have deli ham, but I'm sure it would have been even better if I had used it. I will definitely make this again. Note: This recipe is on the salty side due to the cheeses used, so if you want, you can skip the Kosher salt.

Made this last night for my family and some in laws that popped in. It is a nice change of pace from regular baked Mac and Cheese. Everyone enjoyed it and I am sure to make it again. The bread topping is great.

This is a very good recipe. The bread crumb topping is the best I have ever had! I added chopped fresh spinach and layered it with the ham. Excellent. I would reduce or leave out the fresh nutmeg - kind of strong flavor.
