Lasagna sheets cut into strips taste fresh and luxurious in this dish.

This dish is pure comfort food to John Catucci, host of Food Network Canada’s Big Food Bucket List. It’s his mom’s original recipe – with a few of his own tricks added to it. He makes it at least twice a month. It’s simple but SO delicious and it comes together pretty quickly.
John travels coast to coast checking off one tasty meal at a time and sharing some delightful moments with both the chefs and customers along the way. And be sure to catch brand-new episodes of Big Food Bucket List starting on September 3rd at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Food Network Canada! Food Network Canada is also available to stream live and on demand with STACKTV.
We're using Canadian Fontina but you could use another semisoft Canadian cheese such as Swiss or, for a more concentrated mushroom flavour and robust cheese flavour, Mushroom Oka cheese.
This dish is a great way to use up any extra ham after holiday meals instead of the usual sandwiches. Throw in any other vegetables you may have left over instead of or in addition to the peas.
