- 2 cups diced cooked ham
- 1 tsp salt

Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, forming a roux.

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Mix until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 5
Add the diced ham, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the cheese sauce. Stir to combine and heat the ham through, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss until the noodles are fully coated in the sauce and evenly mixed.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
