Cheese Sauce:
3 C Havarti, grated
2 C milk
3 Tb butter
3/4 C flour
6 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
4 C spinach, roughly chopped
1 red onion, chopped finely
1 box of pasta (I always use whole wheat, I love the nutty texture)
Start your water for the pasta. Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crispy. Strain out the bacon, reserving the fat. Cook the onions in the bacon fat until they are nice and soft and browning. Set those aside. Combine the butter with the remaining bacon fat.
Cook the pasta according to the instructions.
Melt that over medium high heat, then add the flour. Cook this, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Careful not to let this burn. After the 5 minutes, pour in the milk, stirring constantly with a whisk. Cook at medium high for about 10 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken and loses its flour flavor. Add the cheese and let it melt.
Mix the cheese sauce, bacon, spinach, onion and pasta. Salt to taste. Eat it. Get fat.
