I’m a huge lover of plain old macaroni and cheese! My husband, however, loves to have as many extra goodies as possible added in. So this cheesy pasta casserole was a hug hit and it’s really delicious too!

This is a perfect dish to use up some left over ham from Christmas or Easter.

How to make Creamy Ham Pasta Bake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray two 20-ounce oven-safe baking dishes with non-stick spray and set aside.

Cook the pasta according to the package directions and drain.

At the same time, in a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 or 2 minutes.

Whisk in the milk and heat until hot but not boiling.

Add the cream cheese, salt, and cracked black pepper. Cook until cheese is melted and combined, stirring often.

Sprinkle in ¼ cup of grated white cheddar cheese and keep slowly mixing until the cheese is completely melted and combined.

Add the cooked pasta, diced ham, and chopped broccoli to the cream cheese mixture in the pan. Mix together until combined.

Remove from the heat and pour the mixture into the two oven-safe baking dishes, divided evenly.

Top with the remaining ¼ cup grated white cheddar cheese, divided evenly.

Bake for about 20 minutes.
