A great side dish with baked ham! No heavy 'cheesy' sauce, but rather the distinct flavor of sundried tomatoes and parmesan cheese! Will make again- and again, I'm certain.

This can be assembled and refrigerated up to 24 hours ahead of time. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature and bake as directed. You can substitute any sharp Italian cheese (such as Romano, provolone, or Asiago) for the Parmesan.
