A great side dish that is very simple to prepare. Just a nice twist to the normal noodle side dish for a meal. Makes four nice sized servings. I found this in the Simple & Delicious magazine submitted by J. Smith Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups egg noodles (measure before cooking) |
2 slices bacon, diced |
2 teaspoons sweet onions, finely chopped |
6 1/2 teaspoons flour |
3/4 teaspoon sodium-free seasoning (i used garlic pepper blend) |
1/8 teaspoon salt (if desired, i skipped this) |
1/8 teaspoon pepper (more or less as desired) |
1 1/4 cups 1% low-fat milk |
9 ounces baby spinach leaves (fresh leaves) |
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Cook noodles according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile in a large skillet cook diced bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
3. Stir the flour, seasoning blend,and salt & pepper into the pan drippings until blended; gradually add the milk, whisking well. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
4. Add spinach and cook and stir until spinach is wilted.
5. Drain noodles and transfer to a serving dish. Add spinach mixture and top with grated Parmesan cheese, tossing to combine. Sprinkle with bacon and onion mixture.
6. Serve immediately.
