Rajun' Cajun Ham & Broccoli Alfredo image

I had some leftover Easter ham and had some frozen broccoli in the freezer, so I based this recipe on Chef Lorac's Recipe #39087 (please try this when you get a chance its great). Be careful with this, it starts out as wonderfully mild sauce, but it sneaks up on you with the heat (at least it does for me :) Submitted on April 19th 2006.
