Creamy bacon broccoli penne (low salt low carb)

Steps

1. 1Bring a pot of water to boil and add the wholemeal penne. They take a while to cook.
2. 2In the meantime, slice the onion. Cut the florets of the broccoli. Dice the bacon. Crush the garlic. Finely cut the chives.
3. 3Place the broccoli with a splash of water in a microwaveable bowl with lid. Cook on high for 5 minutes.
4. 4Add the bacon to a non stick frying pan and cook on high heat for 5 minutes until browned.
5. 5Add the onion and cook for another few minutes.
6. 6Remove the broccoli from the microwave and add the bacon and onion to it. Set aside.
7. 7Place the frying pan back on the stove on high heat and add the butter and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic has softened.
8. 8Add the sour cream and a cup of pasta water. Stir for a creamy sauce. Add the chives and let the sauce simmer to thicken.
9. 9Drain the penne, which should be done by now.
10. 10Place the penne back into the pot, add the broccoli and onion. Pour the sauce over it and add the grated Parmesan. Give everything a stir and then divide into 4 bowls. Grind some black pepper over it. Enjoy!
