    Irish - Bacon w/ Broccoli + Pasta, sidedish

    4 slices Shannon Traditional Irish Bacon,
    ...cut crosswise into 1/4 inch strips
    8 ounces dried corkscrew (spiral) pasta
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 small onion, finely chopped
    1/2 cup chicken broth
    1/8 teaspoon dried hot pepper flakes
    4 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets, (if using
    ...frozen, make sure it completely thawed and
    ...drained well)
    2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
    salt and ground black pepper to taste

    Prepare the pasta al dente to package directions.

    Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook the Irish bacon strips over
    medium heat just until brown.
    Stir in garlic and chopped onion.
    Cover and cook until onion is soft.

    Increase the heat to medium/high and add the broth.
    Season with the hot pepper flakes.
    Add the fresh broccoli.

    Cover the skillet, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until
    broccoli is just crisp-tender and still bright green.
    Stir in the grated cheese, and season with salt and
    pepper to taste.
    Toss with the pasta and serve immediately.

    Makes 4 servings.
