Bacon, Broccoli, and Shells

I haven't tasted this yet, but I made it to take up the ski slope tomorrow, so we'll see!

1 clove of garlic, chopped or sliced
8 oz/200 g shell pasta (medium)
8 oz/250 g broccoli
4 strips of bacon
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp Parmesan or Romano cheese, grated or shaved

Directions:
1. Cut broccoli into small flowerets. Cook in boiling salted water until soft. Drain.
2. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well.
3. Cut strips of bacon into matchsticks and throw into a hot skillet together with garlic.
4. Add broccoli and olive oil and toss for a minute.
5. Add pasta and mix well. Season with salt and pepper (and dried chiles if desired).
6. Serve with cheese.

For the fancy: Use pancetta instead of bacon and orecchiette instead of shells!
