  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Whisk in flour, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until smooth and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, then bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Stir Colby cheese and mustard; cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and stir in pasta and ham. Pour mixture into a 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle Parmesan over top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
