Bacon and Broccoli Pasta

Bacon and broccoli pasta….this pasta is made in a creamy white sauce perfectly combined with broccoli. I remember I created this dish 5 or 6 years ago as a special dish for the month. now, its back, from philippines to new zealand, ….A new arrival in my present work place…

Did you know that broccoli is not only rich in disease-fighting vitamin C, it also contains beta carotene, sulphoraphane and indoles – which protects or slow the growth of some types of cancer…hmmmm, I think we better start eating broccoli now….
