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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets: This will ensure that they cook evenly in the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its vibrant color and flavor.
  • Use high-quality bacon: Thick-cut bacon will provide the best flavor and texture in the casserole.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the casserole.
  • Use a creamy cheese sauce: A creamy cheese sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and create a rich, flavorful casserole.
  • Season the casserole to taste: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
  • Top the casserole with breadcrumbs: Breadcrumbs will add a golden-brown crust to the casserole.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown: This will take about 25-30 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the casserole to set.

Conclusion:

Creamy Broccoli Bacon Bake is a delicious, easy-to-make casserole that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor from the broccoli, bacon, cheese, and creamy sauce. The casserole is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you could add other vegetables, such as carrots or zucchini, or you could use a different type of cheese, such as cheddar or Gruyère. You could also add a little bit of heat by adding some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños. No matter how you choose to make it, Creamy Broccoli Bacon Bake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
