Ingredients
8 ounces of pasta (any shape)
2 cups of broccoli florets
1 cup of cooked bacon, chopped

1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 cup of breadcrumbs (optional)
How to Make It
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large baking dish, combine the uncooked pasta, broccoli, bacon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour in the milk and stir until everything is well mixed.
Top with shredded cheese, and if you want a crispy topping, add breadcrumbs.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the pasta is cooked and the cheese is bubbly.
