Ingredients:
  • 4 Slices Bacon
  • 2 Large Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Can Alfredo Sauce
  • 1 Small Shallot
  • 2 Heads Broccoli
  • 1 Package of Pasta

This week, I decided to try something new for a quick meal. Pasta has always been a pantry staple for a fast weekday meal, and we had a few strips of bacon left to be used after weekend breakfasts. Thus, the bacon Broccoli Alfredo was born. I'm told it's one of the better meals I've cooked in the three years I've lived with my husband. It takes very little time, and it tastes delicious. You can get it finished in the amount of time it takes you to boil a pot of water and cook your pasta!


















​
​
  1. Bring large pot of water to boil.
  2. Prep ingredients. Finely dice the garlic and shallot. Break broccoli into bite size pieces. Cut bacon into thin, horizontal strips.
  3. Add Bacon to heated skillet and cook until crispy. Remove with slotted spoon to leave fat behind.
  4. Add garlic and shallot to the pan. Allow to cook until aromatic, and then add the broccoli. Salt and pepper to taste. Go light on the salt. Bacon will provide more salt to the dish when reintroduced.
  5. Add salt to pasta water before adding the pasta to the boiling water. Cook until Al dente.
  6. Add crispy bacon to the pan and combine. Add can of Alfredo to the broccoli mixture. Allow sauce to warm.
  7. Drain pasta once it is finished. Add sauce mixture to the pasta in a serving bowl. Its ready to serve, perfect with Parmesan cheese over the top!
