Pasta with broccoli, walnuts and bacon This is a great side dish to use up bumper harvests of sprouting broccoli and we think you’ll really appreciate the combination of flavours. Serves 4 Ingredients 500g broccoli spears 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 225g streaky bacon 350g pasta (penne works well) 2 tbsp olive oil 85g chopped walnuts Parmesan Method Cook the pasta as per the packet instructions. Trim and then wash the broccoli several times in cold water. Cook it gently in a steamer until done (we prefer it a little soft rather than crunchy as it mixes with the pasta better). In a large frying pan, heat the oil and fry the bacon until crisp. Just before it’s cooked add the garlic. Drain the pasta and then combine it with the bacon, garlic and broccoli. Serve and grate a little Parmesan over the top.
