1
Chop the bacon into one-inch pieces.
2
In a large skillet, sauté the bacon until it is brown and crispy. No need to add extra fat.
3
Remove the browned bacon from the skillet with a slotted spoon, and transfer it to a bowl.
4
Carefully pour the fat off into a separate bowl, leaving about one tablespoon in the skillet.
5
Dice the onion.
6
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onions until they are soft and transparent.
7
Add chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to dissolve any remaining browned bits of bacon drippings from the bottom of the skillet.
8
Add uncooked pasta to the skillet, cover with a lid, and bring it to a boil over high heat.
9
Once boiling, give it a quick stir, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 10 minutes with the lid in place, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
10
After 10 minutes, the pasta should be tender and most of the broth absorbed. A thick, saucy broth should remain at the bottom of the skillet.
11
Add fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until it wilts into the pasta.
12
Turn off the heat, add the cooked bacon back to the skillet, and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Stir to combine, then serve.
