Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes     Vegetable

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
7 slices bacon
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup shredded Gouda cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup riced broccoli

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in the skillet. Let bacon cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes; crumble and set aside. Drain cooked pasta and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons bacon grease in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot grease for 2 to 3 minutes. Add crumbled bacon, heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon butter; continue cooking until sauce becomes thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in gouda cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and mix pasta into the cream sauce. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium, microwave-safe bowl in a microwave for 20 seconds. Mix in panko bread crumbs and riced broccoli; stir very well to coat in butter. Spread mixture on top of pasta.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Continue to bake in the preheated oven until crumble is browned, about 5 minutes more.

CHEESY BROCCOLI MACARONI WITH BACON



Cheesy Broccoli Macaroni With Bacon image

I found the original recipe on Allrecipes.com, it was submitted to them by Dorothy Pritchett. The recipe called for elbow pasta,but I used rotini,since that was what was on hand. I did however make a few changes to the recipe. The amounts of salt and pepper are to taste.The original recipe just called for cooking it on the stovetop. But after adding some more stuff, I decided it should be baked to give the top a golden color.Submitted to "ZAAR" on February 27th, 2009

  • Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: You can add other vegetables to this dish, such as cauliflower, carrots, or zucchini. You can also use different types of cheese, such as Gruyère or mozzarella.
