I did make a few changes as suggested by previous reviewers. I only used about 1\/2 of the pasta. For the pasta, I used Barilla Plus elbows to add a little fiber. I, too, used broccoli instead of spinach. I had fresh broccoli and I let it cook about 2 minutes with the pasta. I also reduced the ham to 2 cups since I had reduced the pasta. I don't think there would have been enough sauce if I had used more pasta and ham. I did not have Parmesan cheese, but I did have Pecorino-Romano and I used that. It added a nice flavor that I think Parmesan would have also done. I also used yellow cheddar and it was fine. Because there is so much white sauce, the cheese did not color it too much. I had just a little more than what would fit in an 8\" square pan. My pan was not very deep, though, so it might have all fit in a deeper pan the same size.
