FUSILI PASTA WITH BROCCOLI AND BACON

FUSILI PASTA WITH BROCCOLI AND BACON

INGREDIENTS
Olive oil
Crushed Garlic (I use 2 tablespoons full)
Fusili pasta 1 pack
White pepper
Salt
1 packet Bacon (any type, I use streaky)
Knorr cheese mushroom garlic sauce (optional)

METHOD
Boil pasta and add tablespoon garlic to water. Cut broccoli in little roses.
Bake the bacon in a pan and sprinkle white pepper on it while baking. Make it crispy but don’t dry it out. When done cut bacon in little pieces.
In same pan as where you baked the bacon in (don’t clean it) throw in the broccoli roses. Add some salt, white pepper to taste, tablespoon of garlic and some olive oil. Keep broccoli moist and don’t bake it brown. When your broccoli has softened a bit you add the bacon pieces.
Drain pasta, add knorr sauce if you want and a bit of olive oil. Add the broccoli mixture to the pasta and stir a bit. Bon appetite!
(You don’t need to add the Knorr sauce, the olive oil should keep the pasta moist enough and the garlic, pepper and salt give enough flavour. Just sprinkle a bit of parmesan cheese over it)
