Absolutely do NOT cook the broccoli in the amount of salt the recipe calls for. It was so salty, I had to throw the food out (and unfortunately I had doubled the recipe because I have a big family. I don't think the problem is the bacon -- it is just too much salt in the broccoli water.

Excellent! I didn't have any prosciutto, so I just omitted it. Used 4 oz of pancetta. I will definitely make this again!

Loved it. Definitely use pancetta, not bacon or it would be too salty. My water evaporated quickly so I added chicken broth until the noodles were done. Also, a touch of cream at the end to make the sauce a little more substantial.
