Ingredients
Method
- 300g penne
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 100g smoked bacon, chopped
- 1 red capsicum, sliced
- 2 tbsp flour
- 550ml milk
- 100g mature cheddar, grated
- 125g baby spinach
- 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.
