Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Pour boiling water into a large saucepan with a generous pinch of salt.
• Cook spaghetti in boiling water over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes.
• Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain spaghetti.
• Meanwhile, chop broccoli (see ingredients), including stalk, into small florets. Slice lemon into wedges.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add diced bacon and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes.
• To the pan with cooked bacon, add broccoli and cook until just tender, 5-6 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, add garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add cream (see ingredients) and the reserved pasta water. Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat, stir through cooked spaghetti and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce looks too thick.
TIP: Seasoning is key in this dish, so taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
• Divide creamy bacon and broccoli spaghetti between bowls.
• Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese.
• Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
