Cook the pasta: Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions. Set aside a cup of pasta water for the sauce.
Sauté the onion: Finely dice the onion and sauté in a large pan with olive oil until translucent.
Prepare the sauce: Once the onions are translucent, add the cooking cream and about 100 ml of the reserved pasta water. Stir in the grated Gouda and cream cheese and melt over medium heat until a smooth sauce forms.
Add the broccoli and ham: Divide the broccoli into small florets and cut the cooked ham into strips. Add both to the cheese sauce and simmer for 12-15 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still firm to the bite.
Season: Season to taste with salt, pepper, oregano, rosemary, and parsley.
Mix the pasta: Fold the drained pasta into the creamy sauce and mix everything well.
💡 Details:
This creamy pasta combines tender broccoli with savory cooked ham in a rich cheese sauce.
The combination of cream cheese and Gouda creates a silky-smooth texture, while the herbs add aromatic depth.
