Gather all the ingredients. Wash the tomatoes, slice the ham and start by soaking the breadcrumbs in the milk. When it is soaked, remove the excess milk.

Prepare the tomato sauce. Crush in a blender the tomatoes, the onion, the garlic clove and some parsley. Heat the oil in a small saucepan and add all the crushed tomatoes. Add salt and a little sugar and a splash of red wine. Let it fry until it thickens and you will get a rich homemade tomato sauce. Remember to cover the casserole during cooking with its lid.
