Leftover ham? Perfect for this creamy parmesan macaroni shells with broccoli. This is a recipe from when my girls were young. An amazing rich-tasting meal and so easy to prepare. This recipe is great when you have left-over ham.

Cook macaroni shells in boiling, salted water according to package directions. Cut ham into thin slices. Cut broccoli into 1/2 inch pieces. Saute garlic, ham, and broccoli in butter in a large skillet until broccoli is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes. Stir in cheese. Lower heat and cook, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted. Drain shells and toss with sauce. Serves 6-8
