Straight out of the oven - a little bit of freeze dried chives sprinkled over

Should have used grated cheese but didn't have any

Before adding the cheese - eagle eyed people will notice a few peas in the mixture!!

Mise en place - forgot to put the onion in the photo!!

The name of this recipe translates as noodles and ham with a baked/grilled cheese topping.

This is a fairly typical dish found in both top restaurants and lowly transport-type cafes throughout Germany & Austria.

It's very versatile and almost anything can be added, according to what's in your larder and/or whatever takes your fancy. Very suitable for vegetarian cooking, but also for using up leftover meat.

Furthermore, it's tasty, inexpensive and nutritious, although fairly filling, and is a nice change to pasta.
