Ingredients:

🍝 Pasta (your favorite type - penne, rigatoni, or spaghetti - 2 cups)
🥓 Bacon (4-6 slices, chopped)
🧀 Cheddar cheese (2 cups shredded 🧀)
🧀 Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup grated)
🥦 Broccoli (2 cups, chopped into florets 🥦)
🧴 Olive oil (1 tbsp)
🧄 Garlic (2 cloves, minced 🧄)
🧂 Salt (to taste)
🧑‍🍳 Pepper (to taste)
🧈 Butter (2 tbsp)
🥛 Heavy cream (1 cup 🥛)
🌿 Parsley (optional, chopped for garnish 🌱)
Instructions:
Boil the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside. 🍝

Cook the bacon: While your pasta is cooking, chop the bacon into small pieces and cook it in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside. 🥓

Sauté the garlic and broccoli: In the same skillet, add a bit of olive oil and sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, toss in the broccoli and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender. 🧄🥦

Make the cheese sauce: Add butter to the skillet with garlic and broccoli. Once it melts, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally. 🧈🥛

Add the cheese: Once the sauce is simmering, start adding the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan. Stir until it’s all melted and creamy. 🧀🧀

Combine everything: Add the cooked pasta into the skillet with the cheese sauce, and toss it all together until well coated. 🍝🧀

Mix in bacon: Stir in the crispy bacon bits and season with salt and pepper to taste. 🔥🥓
