Preparation:

Chop broccoli into small pieces and cook in large pot of salted water till done. (NOT crisp tender!) Reserve broccoli and cook macaroni in same water. Saute garlic slices in equal parts vegetable and olive oil (as needed) until garlic is golden; discard garlic. Cut bacon into 1" pieces; saute in oil in 2 batches and reserve. Cook onion in drippings, add to bacon. Combine all ingredients and serve warm. (Broccoli will fall apart a little bit...)
