Broccoli & Spaghetti

In large skillet brown 1 LB boars head bacon (cut bacon into 1 inch pieces & separate) in 2 tablespoons of olive oil add 1 bulb garlic (crushed/chopped) set aside.(add garlic when bacon is 90% cooked)

In large pot boil 1 large bunch (3 or 4 big heads) of cut up broccoli in salted water until tender. Remove broccoli, reserving water and add to skillet with 2 tablespoons of butter 1 cup of seasoned Italian bread crumbs, salt & pepper
(To taste 1/2 teaspoon each give or take) and 4 cups of reserved water, simmer 10 minutes covered.

Cook 1 to 1 1/2 pound barilla spaghetti using rest of reserved water adding as necessary. Drain & pour Broccoli mixture over spaghetti, stir,cover let sit 5~10 minutes, stir, sprinkle with parmesan cheese.


I sometimes split sause in 1/2 and use 3/4 pound spaghetti.Then freeze extra sause to have a couple weeks later.
Takes a hour to prepare

If anyone makes the recipe please let me know how you liked it.Also make sure you dont drain the bacon fat.If you use boars head its not that fatty.

Sorry, I'd try it, but I have a rule... if it takes longer to make then to eat, it's not worth it. :crying: Is there an "instant" version of the recipe out there?

Its worth the time and the 2nd time you have it the sauce is ready to go in a few minutes :excited: or have it once with your friends :grouphug:

If you eat by yourself split the sauce up ito 4 portions use between 1/3 and 1/2 pound pasta and have 4 seperate big portions.
