This pasta dish is like the Italian flag come to life and it's got everything you want: green veggies, the sweet pop of cherry tomatoes and salty, crispy bacon to finish. Dare you not to slurp.
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon
- 4 garlic cloves , minced
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup 10% cream
- 400 g spaghetti
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups small broccoli florets
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes , halved
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Heat a very large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add bacon. Cook until bacon is crisp, 3 to 4 min per side. Transfer bacon to paper towel–lined plate.
- Drain fat from pan, reserving 1 tbsp. Add garlic. Cook for 1 min. Add water, cream, pasta, butter and salt. Boil over medium-high, stirring often, until pasta has absorbed most but not all of the liquid, 10 to 12 min.
- Stir in broccoli, tomatoes and Parmesan. Cook until broccoli is tender, 2 to 3 min. Crumble bacon overtop.
