This broccolini pasta is a simple, delicious dinner I made with the glut of wintered-over broccoli from my parent's garden. You may use sausage or veggie sausage instead of bacon, substituting olive oil for the bacon fat.

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package dry penne pasta
6 slices bacon
12 cloves garlic, minced
¾ pound broccolini, cut into 1 inch pieces
salt and pepper to taste
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Turn frequently to cook until browned and crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels, leaving drippings in the skillet.
Add 1/2 of the garlic to bacon drippings in the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add broccolini and continue to cook and stir until broccolini is tender but still bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in remaining garlic; season with salt and pepper. Add pasta to the skillet and stir to coat. Remove from heat and mix in Parmesan cheese. Crumble in bacon; toss again and serve.
