HIDDEN VALLEY FOUR CHEESE PASTA BAKE WITH SPINACH AND BACON #RSC



Hidden Valley Four Cheese Pasta Bake With Spinach and Bacon #RSC image

I chose Cavatappi pasta for this recipe because the shape is not only fun, but it also helps to hold the sauce and other ingredients better. I selected those particular types of cheese because I feel like they take this recipe up a notch from being an average weeknight dinner to something you might even choose to make for company. I used fully cooked apple-smoked bacon, which I found at Trader Joe's along with the Havarti, Gruyere & Fontina cheeses. Since I used such rich and flavorful cheeses, I chose to use 2% greek yogurt and 2% milk instead of using sour cream and half & half so the recipe wouldn't be laden down with heavy ingredients.
