Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Add broccoli and carrots to saucepan of boiling water and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water. Place cooked vegetables in large bowl. Add reserved water, cooking cream and onions; stir until vegetables are evenly coated with sauce. Spoon into a casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray and top with shredded cheese and bacon bits. Cover. Bake 25 minutes or until heated through. Uncover and cook an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is brown and bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in the skillet. Let bacon cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes; crumble and set aside. Drain cooked pasta and set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons bacon grease in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot grease for 2 to 3 minutes. Add crumbled bacon, heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon butter; continue cooking until sauce becomes thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in gouda cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and mix pasta into the cream sauce. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium, microwave-safe bowl in a microwave for 20 seconds. Mix in panko bread crumbs and riced broccoli; stir very well to coat in butter. Spread mixture on top of pasta.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Continue to bake in the preheated oven until crumble is browned, about 5 minutes more.

Steps:

• Mix first 2 ingredients in large bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients; toss to coat.
• Refrigerate 1 hour.
