Steps

  1. Clean the chanterelles thoroughly, wash them, and slice them into strips. Peel the onion, wash it, and chop it finely. Melt 20 g of butter in a pot and add the chanterelles and onion. Sauté until some of the liquid evaporates, then reduce the heat. Season with salt and pepper and simmer on low heat for another 15 minutes. Clean and wash the okra, then quickly boil it in hot water. Drain it and cut it into strips.

  2. Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Salt the water just before it boils. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the instructions on the package. Drain the cooked pasta well.

  3. In another pot, melt the butter and sauté the flour. Once the flour turns golden, slowly add the broth while stirring. Season with salt, pepper, and hot paprika, and cook for a few more minutes. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.

  4. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Cut the ham into pieces. In a bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the ham, chanterelles, okra, two-thirds of the grated Parmesan, and two-thirds of the sauce. Mix well and transfer to a greased baking dish. Smooth the surface, pour the remaining sauce over it, and sprinkle with cheese.

  5. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for ten minutes. Remove from the oven and serve on plates.
