500g or about 1 pound dry Pasta (rotini, fusili, penne, etc.)
¼ cup Butter
¼ cup Flour
2 cups Milk
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp ground Black Pepper
1½ cups grated Smoked Cheddar Cheese
1 cup grated Smoked Gouda Cheese
3 cups chopped Broccoli, cooked
2 cups cooked Ham, cubed
Directions
Cook the pasta
according to packaged instructions. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
In a saucepan, on
medium heat, melt the ¼ cup of butter. Whisk in the flour until smooth.
This creates a roux. Continue to whisk it for a minute.
While whisking,
slowly pour in the milk. Once smooth add 1 cup of the smoked cheddar cheese,
and 1 cup of the smoked Gouda cheese. Stir until smooth.
In a large bowl, mix
the pasta, cheese sauce, cooked broccoli, and cubed ham until all the noodles
are covered in some sauce and the ham and broccoli are evenly distributed.
Spread the mixture in a casserole dish.
Sprinkle the
remaining ½ cup of smoked cheddar cheese on top.
The night before you are planning to serve the ham, score the fatty side of the ham with wide criss-cross cuts 0.6cm to 1.2cm deep. Combine paste ingredients in a small bowl. Apply the paste evenly over the entire ham. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Remove ham from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for about 45 minutes.
Smoking Method:
To Serve:
Bring your Bradley Smoker to between 105°C and 120°C (220°F and 250°F).
Using Maple flavour bisquettes, smoke/cook the ham for approx. 5-6 hours depending on the amount of smoke flavour you would like the ham to have.
Mix glaze ingredients together in a small saucepan and cook over low heat for 15mins. Brush the ham with glaze a couple of times during the last hour of cooking.
