Creamed spinach, bacon and mushroom spaghetti
Let me explain the dish. The first time I made it was in 2011. I was so smitten with creamed spinach that I was pairing it with meat, seafood and chicken. Finally, I tried it with pasta and I loved it. Still, being more carnivore than herbivore, I just had to add bacon. In this updated recipe, mushrooms join bacon to give an already excellent dish even more flavor and texture.
Browned sausage pasta with cream and cheese sauce
How the dish tastes depends on your choice of sausage and cheese. Spicy sausages and aged cheese are recommended.
