Sweat flour in the frying fat and deglaze with remaining stock and milk. Bring to the boil while stirring and simmer for a few minutes. Add 3/4 of the onion rings to the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Put half of the macaroni in a greased casserole dish and pour half of the onion béchamel sauce over it. Sprinkle with diced ham and spread the drained savoy cabbage on top. Layer the remaining pasta on the savoy cabbage and pour the remaining béchamel sauce over it.
