| Pasta, Irish Bacon and Brocolli |
| Ingredients: 4 slices Shannon Traditional Irish Bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch strips 8 ounces dried corkscrew or quill-shaped pasta 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 small onion, finely chopped 1/2 cup de-fatted chicken broth 1/8 teaspoon dried hot pepper flakes 4 cups fresh broccoli florets 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese Method: Cook pasta in large amount of salted boiling water. While pasta is cooking, in non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook bacon strips just until they begin to brown. Stir in garlic and onions; cover and cook for several minutes or until onion is soft. Raise heat to medium-high. Add chicken broth, hot pepper flakes and broccoli. Cover and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until broccoli is crisp-tender and still bright green. Stir in grated Parmesan and salt to taste. Toss with hot cooked pasta. Serve immediately. Serves 4 |
| Irish bacon is sweeter and less salty than American bacon. If you can't find it in your local store it can be purchased online. In a pinch you could substitute Candian Bacon. |
