Excellent recipe...I do a similar dish without tomato sauce... Instead I use 1 package of cream cheese and 3 ozs. of fresh cream which I mix together and add to the pasta once the broccoli is cooked... Other than that the rest is the same recipe...Excellent taste! Read More

Oh this was great! I probably used a little more bacon (I had some leftover that was already cooked/crumbled) and didn't measure the broccoli just used 2-3 heads. Didn't have linguinin so used fettucini and cooked the broccoli in the spaghetti sauce not the pasta water. Used a couple tablespoons butter to cook the onion/garlic since I had already cooked the bacon and added the garlic when the onion was almost done to avoid scorching. Read More

I received this in my e-mail this morning and went to the store after work to get the ingredients. My husband and I loved this dish. It's super easy and it has terrific flavor. I added some red pepper flakes to the sauce per one suggestion below. It was delicious and I will definitely make this again. Read More

This is a tasty dish! It's very good at the end of the week when you're tired and don't have a fridge full of ingredients lol. I made a few small changes. I took the advice of others and added my garlic after the onions had cooked. I also added frozen broccoli florets with the sauce instead of boiling it with the pasta. I also doubled the bacon. And added a dash of red pepper flakes. Came out delicious will be making it again. Read More
