Pre heat oven to 180C .
Cook pasta according to packet instructions but minus 2 minutes from the cooking time.
In a deep pan, splash olive oil and heat over medium to high heat.
Once hot, add onion and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes or until onion becomes translucent. Continue to stir while cooking.
Add mushrooms and ham, cook for 10 minutes or until all the water has evaporated. (I cook mine for a little longer, until the ingredients have lightly browned)
Add stock, cream, parsley, parmesan, salt and pepper. Bring to a slow boil.
Taste here, if you need more salt or pepper - add it now!
Add the pasta into a baking dish and top with the ham and mushroom mixture. Mix to ensure the pasta is coated.
Place into the oven for 15-20 minutes, checking half way and giving it a good mix to ensure no pasta burns on top.
Serve with another sprinkle of parmesan on top!
