Irish Bacon with Pasta
List of Ingredients
To find Irish Bacon, you may need to spend a little time
in the meat department with your local butcher. Irish
Bacon tastes more like Canadian Bacon, but is cut in
strip form, like American Bacon. You may substitute
either of these for Irish bacon if you cannot find the
original ingredient in your neighborhood.
Ingredients:
4 slices Shannon Traditional Irish Bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch strips
8-oz. dried Corkscrew Pasta
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 small Onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup Chicken Broth
1/8 tsp. dried Hot Pepper flakes
4 cups fresh or frozen Broccoli Florets
2 Tbs. grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Recipe
Prepare the pasta as directed on the manufacturer's
packaging, in a pot of lightly salted water brought to
a rolling boil.
While the pasta is roiling in the pot, cook the Irish bacon
strips in a non-stick skillet over medium heat just until
brown. Stir in garlic and chopped onion; cover and cook
for several minutes or until onion is soft.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken
broth to the skillet. Season with the hot pepper flakes,
and add the fresh broccoli. If using frozen broccoli
florets, make sure the vegetable is completely thawed
and drained well.
Cover the skillet, and cook the mixture for 7 to 8
minutes, until broccoli is just crisp-tender and still
bright green. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, and
season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Toss the bacon and broccoli with the hot cooked pasta.
Serve immediately.Serves 4
