Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 4 ounces turkey-bacon slices, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
• 5 1/2 cups 1-inch broccoli florets (from 1 pound broccoli crowns)
• 8 ounces fresh or dried fettuccine
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Sauté turkey-bacon in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until almost crisp and brown. Transfer to paper towels.

Cook broccoli in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender but still bright green, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer broccoli to medium bowl. Add pasta to same boiling water; cook until tender, stirring occasionally.

Drain pasta; return to same pot. Add next 5 ingredients. Toss over low heat to coat. Add turkey bacon, broccoli, and cheese; toss to blend. Season pasta with pepper.
