Fettuccine with Broccoli Carbonara

  • 4 slices lean (or turkey) bacon, chopped
  • 1 Medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 17oz. jar Alfredo sauce (just use your favorite)
  • 1 package fettuccine, uncooked
  • 3 Cups fresh broccoli florets
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

In a saucepan, cook bacon until crisp, discard bacon drippings. Add onion and garlic; cover and cook over medium heat until onion is translucent, stirring occasionally. Add sauce; cook gently over low heat until heated through. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; during last 3 minutes of cooking, add broccoli to pasta cooking water. Drain pasta and broccoli well; toss with hot sauce. Serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

This is one of our family's favorites. Even our three year old boys like it.
