These were tasty though not something I'd eat every day. I was looking for something to do with the leftovers, so I made these with rotini & leftover shredded chicken (instead of ham). I think the chicken was probably better than ham would be. Next time I will not use rotini--macaroni instead--and will put the pasta on the bottom of the muffin cup, topping with a scoop of the rest of the ingredients. My pasta that was on the top of the muffin cups got kind of dry and chewy.

These turned out okay but none of us were crazy about them. hey seemed pretty bland somehow and even my kids weren't crazy about it. Thanks for the novel idea, though!
