- Stir in the uncooked pasta, broth and seasonings.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is just shy of al dente.

- Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stirring occasionally, until the pasta and broccoli are tender.
- Top with the cooked bacon and extra parmesan before serving.
Notes
*I do not list salt in the recipe because the salt content in parmesan and chicken stock can vary wildly. Just do a quick taste test and add salt accordingly.
