Bacon and Spinach Pasta with Parmesan

A cheap meal that I somewhat enjoyed. As others have noted, additional ingredients would punch it up a notch, so I would recommend treating this as a foundation that you can then build on 🏠

I added some tomates. If I had more time I may have made other adjustments like adding chicken or dairy free cream.

Add a tablespoon of butter and spices

Very simple. Used the pre-cooked bacon bits from sam's because I just hate bacon mess! But I did crisp it up in the pan which gave me some grease to cook the onions in. Also added a stick of butter when I added the pasta just to make it more creamy!

A good broth really elevates this dish. When I used bullion it tasted like a premade pasta side but using broth base makes it taste homemade. This has become a regular in my low spoons, ADHD menu rotation. So simple but plenty of room to use it as a base. Big fan:)

This was simple and delicious! Used a bit more bacon than called for since I had some leftover, and will probably use baby spinach next time as the regular spinach was a bit too big for our taste. May also try adding some garlic with the onion, and shredded rotisserie chicken as well for a bit more protein.

Make a double batch if you have any hope for leftovers. it would make really nice leftovers.
