Re: Need "use up pantry items", budget dinner help............
hmmm, sounds good. I'd do a white sauce with sauteed onions in the butter you use to build the roux and a healthy bit of nutmeg. Then use either the red peppers or the ham but not both. Spinach with either combo sounds good. Just toss it with the hot pasta and put the whole shebang in a casserole dish with just a touch of the cheese on top OR you can skip the cheese and mix some bread crumbs (even a slice of old bread) with butter, garlic powder and then spread that over the top. then bake.
