Pasta With Bacon and Broccoli

I used turkey bacon while the orginal recipe used Irish bacon.


4 slices bacon cut crosswise into 1/4 inch strips
8 ounces dried corkscrew or quill shaped pasta
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 samll onion, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth, fat free
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta in large amount of salted boiling water. While pasta is cooking in non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook bacon strips just until they begin to brown. Stir in garlic and onions; cover and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until broccoli is crisp-tender and still bright green. Stir in grated Parmesan and salt to taste. Toss with hot cooked pasta. Serve immediately.

Serves 4.
