Directions

  1. Stir 1/2 teaspoon salt into a pot of water, bring to a boil. Stir penne pasta into the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes, drain.

  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ham and mushrooms in hot butter until the mushrooms are softened, 3 to 4 minutes.

  3. Stir flour, remaining salt, and bay leaf into the ham mixture, cook and stir until flour begins to bind butter into a paste, about 2 minutes. Stream milk into the skillet while stirring. Melt Parmesan cheese into the milk mixture, add basil and continue cooking and stirring until the milk thickens into a sauce, 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. Remove skillet from heat and immediately stir spinach into the sauce, add to drained pasta and stir to coat the pasta.
