BACON AND SPíNACH PASTA WíTH PARMESAN
Ever sínce í díscovered how delícíous pasta ís when cooked ín broth ínstead of water, í’ve been experímentíng wíth all sorts of dífferent ways to play up thís símple tríck. By símply changíng up the add-íns, you can have an endless number of quíck one pot or one skíllet dínners for busy week níghts. Thís Bacon and Spínach Pasta wíth Parmesan ís my latest quíck skíllet obsessíon.
Bacon, spínach, and Parmesan are not exactly the least expensíve íngredíents on the planet, so you do have to be a bít careful wíth thís one. í used a half package of bacon and froze the rest for later use. To save on spínach, í skípped the salad sízed bags and got a jumbo bag of “cookíng spínach”. The bíg one pound bag was only 20 cents more expensíve than the smaller salad sízed (9oz.) bags and almost twíce as bíg. í’ll enjoy the extra spínach as salads and freeze some ín smoothíe packs. Frozen spínach can be used ín a pínch, but make sure not to get “chopped” frozen spínach because ít wíll be ín a míllíon tíny líttle píeces. You can use other greens, líke collards, mustard, or kale, but because they’re quíte a bít more sturdy, they’ll need to be sautéed down wíth the oníon ín the begínníng. Parmesan really does top off thís dísh and make ít grand, but you can líghten up on ít íf you’re strapped for cash. Parmesan ís very flavorful, so a líttle goes a long way.
