Spoon out the white sauce and spread evenly to the sides. Sprinkle some of the grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Place 2-3 slices of the ham, and some more cheese. Spoon out the sautéed spinach and peppers evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon out a few dollops of the tomato sauce around and another layer of grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
