  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, butter, and parsley, set aside.
  2. Cook the pasta shells al dente according to package directions. Drain well.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter, flour, and seasonings over medium heat and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Gradually add in milk, half and half, and Dijon, whisking until smooth after each addition. Once all of the milk/cream is added, whisk while bringing to a boil over medium heat. Allow to boil for 1 minute.

  6. Toss the cheese sauce with cooked pasta and ham and transfer to a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumb topping over the casserole and top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese.
  7. Bake for 22-26 minutes or until heated through and topping is browned. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
