1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 red capsicum, finely chopped
3 slices bacon, chopped (WW brand if possible)
7 mushrooms, sliced
185 ml evaporated low-fat milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
100 g baby spinach leaves
200 g pasta (any type - I use penne or fettucine)

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.

Spray a pan with olive oil spray and saute finely chopped onion, capsicum, bacon and garlic.

When soft add mushrooms and as much or as little chilli as you like.
4
Cook until soft.
5
Put pasta into boiling water and bring back to the boil.
6
Cook to your liking.
7
Add dijon mustard and evaporated milk to the onion mix.
8
Stir to combine and heat very gently until pasta is ready.

If you like a'wetter' sauce add a small amount of the pasta cooking water to the onion/milk mixture.
10
Place washed spinach leaves into a colander.

When ready drain the pasta over the spinach.

This will wilt the spinach- the only'cooking' it needs.
