Pasta Five

I have a recipe by Michael Symon full of recipes that have five ingredients each and can be made in five minutes.  I tried this one and we really liked it:

1 lb penne pasta 
8 slices bacon, diced
3 cups broccoli florets
3/4 c pine nuts
8 oz shredded aged cheddar cheese
dash of red pepper flakes

Cook penne according to directions for al dente pasta.  Reserve 1 c pasta water, and set aside.

Cook the bacon until crisp, then add in the pine nuts and broccoli, cooking about 2 minutes.  Add in the reserved pasta water and deglaze the pan, then add in the cheddar and red pepper flakes.  Stir in the pasta, then serve.
