📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2
In a large pot of salted water, cook the pasta ⏱️ 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Reserving about ¾ cup of pasta water, drain the pasta, rinse, and set aside.
3
In a large pot over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in the ham and sauté until golden and fragrant, 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes. Remove the ham to a plate.
4
In the same pot, heat 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and salt, and sauté until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to turn golden, 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Pour in the wine and allow it to cook with the mushrooms until the liquid reduces by half, 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes.

5
Sprinkle in the flour, and cook until the flour is slightly toasted, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Slowly pour in the broth and stir, cooking for another few minutes until the sauce thickens.
6
Reduce the heat to medium low. Gradually add the cream cheese, stirring until combined. Do not boil the sauce. Add the ham, peas, cheddar cheese, and ¾ cup of parmesan. Stir to combine. Add the pepper and salt, to taste.

7
Add the cooked spaghetti and stir to combine. Add the pasta water, about 2 tablespoons at a time, to loosen the sauce. (Add up to ½ cup of water, as needed.)
8
Meanwhile, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Stir in the breadcrumbs and the remaining ¼ cup of parmesan.
9
Spray a large (3-quart or 13-by-9-inch) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the pan. Drizzle the top with another ¼ cup of pasta water to keep the spaghetti from drying out. Sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture.

Bake until the casserole is bubbly and the crumbs are golden brown, ⏱️ 20 minutes. Allow to rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes before serving, sprinkled with parsley, if you like.
