Bacon, veggie, parm Pasta bake

So we had the pleasure of spending the weekend at a lovely cabin with some old friends from my childhood. On the last night they made this yummy rotini pasta with chicken. It was good! So when I was looking for something for dinner tonight I thought of something similar. I REALLY need to go to the grocery store, we don't have any milk, chicken or pretty much anything else so this is what I came up with with what I had! I have to say sometimes when I don't follow a recipe and just go with my cooking gut ( no pun intended) I like my food better for some reason! So, I knew I'd never remember the ingredients unless I wrote it down somewhere so I figured might as well add it to the blog. I'm sure you can sub chicken for the bacon, I just didn't have any. I only use turkey bacon but if you used a good quality center cut pork bacon I'm sure it would be awesome! Also, some diced up ham would be really good!

1/2 lb turkey bacon
8 oz uncooked rotini pasta ( I used a little over half a small box )
2 C broccoli cut into pieces
I also threw in some frozen carrot matchsticks that I had from a stir fry mix) so whatever veggie you have, peas would be great too.
3 tbs butter
3 tbs flour
1 14 oz can chicken broth
1 c sour cream
1 c grated parm divided.
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
Garlic powder

Set oven to 350
Start your water for the pasta
Fry the bacon crispy and then break up into pieces- set aside.
Sauté the veggies in some oil, sprinkle some salt, pepper and garlic powder on them. Maybe even a sprinkle of parm cheese if you want.
Once the veggies are getting soft throw the cooked bacon in with them. Sprinkle with more seasonings.
Take out of the pan and wipe down with a paper towel.
On low add the butter to the pan and once melted add the flour, whisk.
Add in the chicken broth SLOWLY while whisking to make a sauce.
Turn up heat a tad and let bubble up just for a second. Turn down to low and add sour cream.
Don't bring to a boil, just mix all around then add the parm cheese. Mix.
Take and drain your pasta
Add the veggie and bacon mix to the sauce.
Add the pasta to the pan with them and combine.
Transfer to a greased casserole dish and sprinkle the top with the rest of the parm cheese.
Put in heated oven for 20 min or until set.
Delish!
