Broccoli and Bacon Pasta Bake
"A delicious and tasy mid-week meal. Sourced from taste.com.au but I have used cheese sauce to bind it rather than their suggestion of 1 cup cream and 2 eggs beaten togetherTo me that sounded rather too rich and fat ladden."

I made this recipe to use up a few things in the fridge - leftover cooked broccoli, 1/2 cup whipping cream, a handful of grated cheddar, a few slices of bacon. It smelled divine while cooking and tasted wonderful. Instead of making a cream sauce, I blended the 1/2 cup of cream with 1/2 cup pasteurized egg whites and mixed the grated cheddar into the pasta mixture before spreading it in the baking dish. I then topped the casserole with a couple handfuls of nacho blend cheese. It was so good! I have leftovers for another couple of meals, since it's just the two of us. Can't wait to try it reheated! -
YUMM!! Nuthin' wrong with mac & cheese with bacon & broccoli!! I didn't have any peas so I left them out. To make more for this piggish family, I doubled everything but the macaroni. Just enough left over for breakfast on the run! Deelicious. I do wonder how cheese sauce compares with cream & eggs, tho, with the butter, milk & cheese sounds about equal. Thanks for posting this yummy 'meal'. Made for Aussie Swap 1/12.
