 "S" standing for spinach, of course! Our family loves the flavors in this easy and delicious pasta salad. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-1 lb bacon, chopped

-1 small red onion, finely chopped

-3 garlic cloves, minced

-4 cups chicken broth

-1 lb small pasta (shells, rotini, etc)

-6 oz baby spinach, roughly chopped

-1.5 cups shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions:

In a wok or a large pot, cook the bacon until nice and crisp. Remove onto paper towels lined plate.

Keep a couple of Tbs of the bacon drippings (discard the rest) and return wok to stove. Add the onion and saute for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an extra minute. 

Stir in the broth and pasta. Give it a good stir, cover, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the spinach and cook for a couple more minutes.

Remove wok from the heat. Add the bacon, cheese, and tomatoes. Give it one more good stir, serve and enjoy!
