4. Add the pepper and cook until soft.
5. Finally add the spinach – set aside.
6. Make the white sauce by placing all the ingredients in a pan together and mixing with a whisk until it becomes a thickened sauce.
7. Mix the pasta, bacon mix and sauce.
8. Cool and serve.

Chef's tip: Omit the bacon and add chick peas or other beans for a vegetarian option. Use unsmoked bacon if you want to reduce salt content.
