Instructions

  • Tips

    • You can also stir the bacon into the mac & cheese, but we liked the crispy texture you retain when sprinkling it on top.

  • Step 1

    Heat the oven to 400°F. Cook and drain the pasta according to the package directions and set aside.

  • Step 2

    In the same saucepan used to cook the pasta, stir the spinach, soup, broth, cheese, milk and crushed red pepper. Cook over medium heat until the cheese is melted and the spinach is just wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat. Transfer to a lightly greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish. 

  • Step 3

    Bake for 20 minutes or until the pasta mixture is bubbly.  Sprinkle with the bacon. Dish will be very hot, let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
