pigs in the trees


I first found this recipe before I even had Emma in a Land O LAkes cookbook, which is great, they make butter so of course you wouldn't expect anything less. I hadn't made it for a while but did last night and my kids Loved it, and I could even make a version for Sam with rice noodles and no cheese.
It is very easy...

Fry about 6-8 slices of bacon (we prefer Hormel Black Label) and then cut them up, reserve about 2 Tbsp of the fat in the pan.
Sautee 1 lg head of broccoli into florets and 2-3 garlic cloves (pressed) until tender.
Add 8 0z. cooked pasta...rotini, penne, whatever you want
then some grated mozzerella and the bacon and stir on low heat until the cheese is melted and well distributed. Add some salt & pepper a little parmesan cheese, maybe a bit of olive oil if you want.
