I was making this tonight ,I thought I would share.

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
