Step 1

Boil the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 inch pan with a non-stick cooking spray. In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour, salt, and pepper to create a roux. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and then the heavy cream and whisk until it starts to thicken. Add in the cheddar and continue to whisk until melted.

Step 3

In a large bowl combine the ham, broccoli, pasta, and cheese sauce. Spread into your 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 4

In a small bowl combine melted butter, bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Top with the topping and bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.
