Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 cups cooked diced ham
  • 4.0 cups broccoli florets
  • 1.0 cup uncooked pasta
  • 2.0 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1.0 cup milk
  • 1.0 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • If using fresh broccoli, steam or blanch the florets for 2-3 minutes until bright green. If using frozen, thaw and drain any excess water.
  • In a large, oven-safe skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced ham and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly crispy and golden.
  • Add the uncooked pasta, broccoli florets, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and paprika to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  • Pour in the milk and chicken broth. Mix well, making sure to coat the pasta and vegetables evenly.
  • Stir in 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese until it's melted and incorporated into the mixture.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve hot and enjoy every cheesy bite!
