This is more of an idea than a recipe, and it kind of feels like cheating to put it on my recipe blog... But it is such a good idea I absolutely had to share! After the holidays I am often stuck with the task of figuring out how to use up all the leftovers before they go bad. There are only so many times my family will eat a slice of ham, no matter how much they enjoy it! This pasta dish can't be beat - and no complaints from the family either.

What are the ingredients needed for this alfredo ham pasta?

You guessed it - just five ingredients to make this simple dish:

• ham - any sort will do, just cut it into bite sized pieces
• Alfredo sauce - use your favorite jarred sauce to make this quick and easy
• Broccoli - I love how broccoli soaks up all the creamy Alfredo sauce, but you could replace with chopped green beans, peas, or your favorite vegetable
• noodles - I used rigatoni but you can use your favorite noodle
• parmesan cheese - you could skip it, but it adds an extra but of flavor to the dish

How big should I cut the broccoli?

I like to cut my broccoli into medium florets so that they remain a bit crisp after cooking.

What kind of alfredo sauce should I use?

The best alfredo sauce to use is one that you know you enjoy the flavor of! The whole dish comes down to the taste of the alfredo sauce so choose a good one if possible. I used one I found at Costco!

Do I need the extra parmesan cheese?

You dont absolutely need the extra cheese but it helps the recipe feel a bit more special, and who doesnt like extra cheese?!
