09/23/2013 Followed the recipe exact. Except I bought "John Morrell julienne stripped ham". Within minutes of being done, the sauce quickly dried up. I suggest adding more cream cheese mixture maybe milk instead of water. The whole family loved it!!!

01/05/2013 I made this recipe with a few provisions; seasoned the broccoli w. a sea salt, pepper, cumin and chili spice blend, added butter and 1/4 cup of chicken broth to the cream cheese/noodle mixture and used a pretty thick ham steak. I also used ritoni noodles, instead, because that's what I had on hand. I wouldn't go as far to say that I didn't like it...but this dish is subpar at best. Perhaps it was the noodles (??) but not only did it look nothing like the picture, it didn't even look appetizing.

12/27/2010 I did not like this. I made it as is and roasted broccoli, deli ham, cream cheese, and egg noodles just don't taste any better when mixed together. My results were a little too salty but it could've been the ham I was using.

11/23/2010 I just made this, it is wonderful! I did make some additions for more flavor, butter, red onion, than added cream cheese, water and chicken base, cumin, red pepper flakes, ground pepper, salt. Good quality ham too. Perfect!

11/22/2010 Didn't like. Use a lot less pasta water. I thinkJMP878 sounds better.

11/16/2010 My mother used to make a version of this, but she used a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup, one can of cream,or milk, 8 oz. of mushrooms sliced medium, left over ham diced in nice sized chunks, a clove of very chopped garlic, and a pound of wide noodles (there were five of us - so streatching leftovers was important!)
