Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 1/4 cup of bacon drippings in the skillet.

  2. Place asparagus, spinach, and garlic into the skillet with the bacon drippings, cook and stir over medium heat until the asparagus is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

  3. Sprinkle in lemon zest and toss to combine, thoroughly mix in bacon and Alfredo sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and bring sauce to a simmer.

  4. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in rotini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still slightly firm, about 8 minutes. Drain well.

  5. Transfer the rotini to a serving bowl and top with Alfredo sauce mixture.

  6. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.

Recipe Note

A delicious pasta dish with bacon, spinach, asparagus and a hint of lemony goodness. The sauce is Alfredo but it's almost unrecognizable. This is one of my 5-year-old's favorite suppers.
