Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190C/375F.

  2. Cook pasta but not completely; 2 minutes less.

  5. Add the onions and cook until softened.

  6. Add the chopped peppers, garlic, tomato puree, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.

  7. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cream, bring to a gentle bubble, then add the spinach and bacon. Stir everything together.

  8. Mix with the cooked pasta and transfer to a large baking dish.

  9. Top with the cheddar and mozzarella, and place in the oven for 45 minutes, until cheese is golden brown.

  10. Take out of oven and top with chopped parsley.

  11. Enjoy!
