Ingredients:


4 Slices Shannon Traditional Irish Bacon cut crosswise into 1/4 inch strips

8 Ounces dried corkscrew or quill-shaped pasta

2 Cloves garlic minced

1 Small onion finely chopped

1/2 Cup de-fatted chicken broth

1/8 Teaspoon dried hot pepper flakes

4 Cups fresh broccoli florets

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
 

Preparation / Directions:


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 several minutes or until onion is soft. Raise heat to medium-high. Add chicken broth, hot pepper flakes and broccoli. 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.
