Ingredients:
1 Box of your chosen pasta noodles (I used medium shells)
3 Tomatoes (I used canned)
1 pkg chopped spinach (I used frozen)
1 pkg of bacon (Use as much or as little bacon as desired - can substitute pre-cooked if wanted)
8 oz cream cheese
8 oz of cheddar cheese (I used velveeta cheese)
5 cups of water
salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
*PREP*
Tomatoes
- (if not canned) Wash, slice, and cut the tomatoes into cubes. Remove
seeds as possible, then place to the side till needed.
Spinach - If NOT frozen, then place aside till needed. If frozen, then need to cook till thawed, but do NOT overcook.
Bacon - Cook bacon in the oven till done to desired toughness. Once bacon is cooked, break into pieces of desired size.
*Directions*
1) Bring the 5 cups of water to a boil, then add your pasta. Boil for five minutes (pasta will not be completely cooked).
2)
Add the cream cheese and cheddar cheese all at once, turn heat down to
medium and simmer while covered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to
get cheese to melt.
3) Now you should turn the heat back up and cook the mixture of another 5-7 minutes. During this time, add in your
spinach and bacon to the mixture, and continue to stir occasionally.
4)
When the pasta has reached desired tenderness, turn off the stove, and
stir in your tomatoes. Let stand for 2 minutes while the cheese thickens
slightly.
