Add the cheese in an even layer followed by the broccoli. Roast until the broccoli is slightly browned and the cheese is golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the ranch, sriracha, lime zest and juice in a small bowl. Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the sauce all over the broccoli.

Steps:

• Heat bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook, flipping occasionally until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

• Add shallot and garlic to drippings and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Stir in water and milk; use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir in pasta and ranch dressing mix. Bring to a boil and simmer for 6 minutes.
