This was a very nice recipe, but after reading some of the reviews, that I would add some extra bacon to it. The aroma in the house was incredible after frying the bacon and then sauteeing the onion and garlic! I couldn't wait to eat dinner!

I used EXTRA (peppered) bacon. Wasn't crazy about the spaghetti sauce. I think this dish would taste much better with alfredo sauce. I think the dish screamed for some red pepper flakes. All in all, it was pretty good. Just needs your "personal" touches. :-)

My family loved this meal, the only thing i added was grilled chicken on top. The chicken made the meal more filling.

As seems to be popular, I'd say this recipe was "just ok". The broccolli and the bacon flavors really didn't stick out much at all. I feel like it's missing some kind of zest. I might experiement with it. At the very least however, this is a decent meal to make when your fridge is getting empty. :P

I gave this recipe 4 stars because it is fairly easy to prepare and it tastes pretty good. There is nothing super special about it, but I will probably make it again as it does add variety. I followed the recipe pretty exact but I think next time I will use less noodles or add more broccoli.

This was OK. Maybe it's just me though because I didn't think the bacon with spaghetti was a good combo. I did eat it though and my friend said it was OK. Like I said, it might just be me. Thanks anyway.

This is a tasty dish! It's very good at the end of the week when you're tired and don't have a fridge full of ingredients, lol. I made a few small changes. I took the advice of others and added my garlic after the onions had cooked. I also added frozen broccoli florets with the sauce instead of boiling it with the pasta. I also doubled the bacon. And added a dash of red pepper flakes. Came out delicious, will be making it again.

This was very good. The tomato sauce rather than a white sauce, perhaps an alfredo, seemed a little odd, but we tried it anyway and all in the family liked it. I think with an alfredo it would be 5 stars - but that would be an entirely different recipe then, wouldn't it? ;o) Thank you to whoever shared this.

To me, this was just ok. I used more bacon then called for, but it still did not blow me away. Yes, this is a quick and easy recipe, but one that I do not believe I will be doing again.

I thought that was pretty good...I made it with turkey bacon though & the turkey bacon is a different texture than regular bacon so DH didn't care too much for it.

Tasty recipe...bacon gives the sauce a nice flavor, although next time I think I will use more bacon to bring out that flavor.

Really, really good! There's just two things I would do differently next time: 1) Add 2 more slices bacon 2) Don't brown the garlic until the onion is almost tender, as my garlic got a little overcooked as the grease was still so hot from the bacon. It was a nice fast meal and a good way to get my kids to eat some broccoli!

Delicious! So good I made it first with a red sauce (Ragu chunky mushroom) and then with a white sauce (Ragu alfredo). I took the advice of another All Recipes user and sauteed the onion and garlic in a *small* amount of the bacon grease, then added the bacon and the sauce once the onions were soft. A couple of tips -- (1) Cut the amount of pasta down; only use 8-10 ounces of pasta instead of the 16 ounces called for in an 8-serving recipe. 1 jar of sauce can only cover 8-10 ounces of pasta reasonably. (2) Make certain the pasta is almost entirely cooked before adding the broccoli. I added my broccoli after 5 minutes as the recipe stated, only to have my pasta take an extra long time to cook and consequently my broccoli turned to mush. (3) Feel free to add other vegetables as desired. I added green peas and mushrooms.
