Stovetop Bacon Penne ‘n’ Cheese

Cook the penne until al dente in boiling salted water and drain. Meanwhile, heat ½ tbsp of oil in a saucepan and fry the bacon for 8 mins. Remove and set aside. Add the capsicum to the pan and cook for 5 mins, then remove that too.
Add 1.5 tbsp of oil to the pan and stir in the flour to make a roux. Cook for 1 minute, then gradually add the milk, stirring continuously until a thick sauce is achieved. Stir in the pasta, capsicum, cheese and spinach and cook until the cheese has melted. Season well, then serve in bowls topped with the crispy bacon.
