Italian Broccoli-Bacon Pasta
This Italian Broccoli-Bacon Pasta is a great little recipe to put together when you are tired of all your usual go-to dinner recipes and fancy something a bit different. Inspired by a dish I ate on my travels in Tuscany, this pasta dish will bring a little taste of Italy to your dinner table.Â
Start by cutting the broccoli into small bite sized florets and boil them until tender. Cook the pasta to al dente and while the pasta cooks, fry some bacon in a little bit of olive oil. Add some garlic and cooked broccoli florets to the bacon. Once the pasta is drained, mix with the broccoli mixture and serve sprinkled with parmesan cheese.Â
To make Italian Broccoli-Bacon Pasta, you will need the following ingredients:

Yep, it was really good, thanks a lot!
Wanted to make something different just for a change, found this and looks promising, will be making it tonight!
Thanks a bunch, this place is amazing yesterday I made the pasta with the eggplant and tomato sauce!
I like to get away from the usual stuff, new ideas are always welcome and this one is a very good one!
I'm not really into broccoli normally and this meal didn't really change that fact but my husband is hooked on it so guess it's staying on the menu haha.
I love pastas and whenever I see a new idea I just have to try it, this one was a 10/10!
It was good thank you.
This is a good way to blend in the broccoli and have it taste great, best bacon pasta for sure.
Thanks for the amazing recipe Jelena, tasty, every time!
Anything with bacon in it is something that I just have to make lol.
They ate all of it, ALL of it guess I'll be making this more often my family was super pleased.
I was surprised when I saw the garlic part, the flavor in the end was perfect!!
The steps are very clear and the result was no less that what I wanted, I approve!
I love broccoli and it's great how well it goes with the pasta and the bacon after mixing it with the garlic :)
This was relatively fast to make and quite tasty as well.
Feels like it's missing something..any recommendations on what else I can add?
I will be making this for dinner, looks really good!
5 stars from me, It was ultra scrumptious and just all out a great meal.
Much tastier than what I expected!
The combination is interesting, I really liked it.
