Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C.
2.Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water until just tender; drain.
3.Meanwhile, cook ham in a small frying pan, over medium heat, stirring, for 2 minutes or until browned.
4.Combine ham and pasta in a large bowl with egg, cream, milk, cheese and fennel; season. Transfer mixture to an oiled deep 2-litre (8-cup) ovenproof dish; sprinkle with parmesan.
5.Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until pasta is heated through. Toss tomato in oil in a small bowl. Top pasta with tomato mixture; sprinkle with ¼ cup fennel fronds before serving.

Accompany with seeded bread rolls. Substitute blue cheese for a milder cheese, if you prefer. Ricotta, fetta or cream cheese would work well.
