    400g essential Waitrose Broccoli
    2 tbsp olive oil

    1. Cook the pasta in boiling water for 8 minutes. Drain with a slotted spoon to a colander. Meanwhile, cut the bacon into 1cm pieces. Then cut the broccoli into florets and the stalks into small pieces. Add the broccoli to the water and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender.

    3. Spoon the mixture over the bacon and tip the pasta on top. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and cook under a preheated grill until cheese is melting and beginning to brown.
