Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon diced
- 16 ounces pasta
- 2 ½ cups milk
- 3 ½ cups chicken broth
- ½ tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the milk, broth, and cajun seasoning to the skillet. Bring to a boil and add in the noodles. Stir constantly for 10 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.
- Add in the parmesan and spinach, stirring until the spinach is wilted and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- This is super adaptable! Cook some diced chicken in your bacon fat. Use ham.
- Use any shape of pasta - I suggest a shape that holds on to a lot of sauce!
