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 to make this dish?

This pasta dish is so simple to make!

step one: boil the pasta according to package directions

step two: in the last 2-3 minutes of cook time add the broccoli florets to the pasta

step three: fry the ham in a large skillet or pot until heated through

step four: add the sauce to the ham, and allow to warm

step five: add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the sauce and ham and stir to coat

step six: sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve immediately

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?!
