Ingredients (Serves 3)

Water for boiling
250 g of Broccoli, fresh
250 g of Spaghetti
170 g of Crispy Bacon
170 g of Cream (15%)
1 tsp of Chicken Broth Powder
150 g of Water (for sauce)
2 tsp of Cornstarch
Salt and Pepper to taste
60 g of Hard Cheese, grated
200 g of Cherry Tomatoes, halved

Instructions

Prepare the Broccoli: Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, blanch the broccoli for about 2-3 minutes until vibrant green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Spaghetti: In the same pot of boiling water, add in the spaghetti. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 150 ml of pasta water before draining.
Crisp the Bacon: While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and sauté until crispy and golden. Once ready, remove it from the skillet and set aside, leaving the delicious bacon drippings in the pan.
Create the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, add the reserved pasta water. Sprinkle in the chicken broth powder and stir in the cream. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a spoonful of water to create a slurry and add it to the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine Everything: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing it gently in the creamy sauce. Next, fold in the blanched broccoli, crispy bacon, and halved cherry tomatoes. Allow everything to heat through and combine for a few minutes.
Serve and Enjoy: Plate your delectable dish and generously sprinkle with grated hard cheese. The creamy texture combined with the crispy bacon, fresh broccoli, and juicy tomatoes creates a symphony of flavors that will leave you wanting more.
