Heat the pan and fry the bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Pour off the fat from the pan, but leave about 1 tablespoon behind.

Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the uncooked pasta, heavy cream, chicken broth, and salt. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer. Cover and cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally and making sure the pasta stays submerged in the liquid.

Add the broccoli and cook for another 5–7 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and the reserved bacon. Serve with extra Parmesan cheese on top.
