Before you start
Keep the serving dishes in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.
Put a colander in the sink to drain the cooked pasta so that it will be ready when needed.
Method
-
Prepare the broccoli: clean it and cut it to separate the florets. Peel off and discard any though skin from the stalks and cut them into small pieces. Blanch the broccoli 3-4 min, then drain and set it aside, but keep it warm.
-
To save time, the rest of the sauce preparation and pasta cooking can be done at the same time. Cook the pasta.
-
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook 2 min with
stirring. Slowly whisk in the milk then bring to a boil. Add the grated cheese while
stirring until the sauce is smooth. Add the ham, broccoli, and grated nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper. Add a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to dilute the sauce a little bit.
-
Add the drained pasta to the saucepan, then mix well. Serve in the warmed dishes.
Remarks
The sauce can be made 2-3 days ahead, refrigerated, then reheated while you cook the pasta.
