Pasta with broccoli. If you make it with whole wheat pasta, or the enriched white stuff it's even healthier for you-! Ingredients:
454 g whole wheat spaghetti, cooked according to package directions (*will need to add broccoli to cooking pasta ' see below* ) |
4 slices lean bacon |
1 cup chopped onion |
2 minced garlic cloves |
700 ml spaghetti sauce (of your choice) |
2 cups broccoli florets |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (fresh is best!) |
Directions:
1. In a large pan, cook bacon slices till crisp, drain and then crumble. (I find that if I cut the bacon up into small pieces prior to cooking, then you don't have to worry about crumbling hot bacon.).
2. Return bacon to pan after crumbling, and add onion and garlic.
3. Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in spaghetti sauce and heat to boiling. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
5. Add broccoli florets to spaghetti noodles for the last 2 minutes of cooking time. Drain pasta and broccoli. Toss well with the sauce, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
