Baked pasta with spinach

Chop an onion coarsely, melt the butter in a pan, add the onion and brown it.

Add bacon, let it brown and add washed and drained spinach (I bought those already cleaned and ready to use).

Once the spinach has wilted, pour in a tablespoon of flour, stir and brown.

Add the milk a little at a time and bring to a boil.

Turn often with the wooden spoon, as soon as the sauce thickens (If the souce is to thick just add more milk), turn off and set aside.

With this trick you will avoid buying the béchamel sauce or making it separately, and the result will taste better.

Cook pasta, drain al dente and collect it in a bowl.

Season with 2/3 of the freshly made spinach and a little grated cheese.

Pour half on a baking dish, make a thin layer of provola cheese and distribute a little more grated cheese.

Cover with the remaining pasta, more sliced cheese, the remaining dressing and the last part of grated cheese.

Bake in a hot oven at 355 ºF for 10-15 minutes, or until desired browning.

Bake, let cool a few minutes and serve hot, creamy and streaky.
