Can't remember where I found this one, but this is nice simple food that tastes good.
Ingredients:
1 lb penne pasta
12 ounces bacon, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
2 bunches fresh broccoli, cut into florets
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
2. While water is coming to a boil for the pasta, cook bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Remove bacon from pan and set aside.
3. Add broccoli to pan with bacon drippings; cook and stir 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how much crunch you want in your broccoli.
4. Sprinkle broccoli with crushed red pepper.
5. In a very large bowl, combine pasta, bacon and broccoli.
6. Add mozzarella and toss to distribute.
