How to Make Rajun Cajun Ham Broccoli Alfredo
- Cook 1 pound pasta and 1 pound broccoli florets in a large pot of boiling salted water until pasta is al dente (about 8-10 minutes).
- Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- Keep pasta and broccoli warm.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 cups of diced cooked ham and 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Stir until ham is heated through and coated.
- Reduce heat to low. Add 2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
- Pour sauce over the cooked pasta and broccoli.
- Toss to combine, ensuring all pasta and broccoli are coated in the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley (optional).
