Ingredients
  • 10 oz penne pasta
  • half pint red cherry tomatoes, halved
  • half pint yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 oz baby spinach leaves
  • half pound thick cut bacon, cut into small pieces and fried crisp
  • 4 oz mozzerella cheese, cut into small cubes, or, bite size balls, halved
  • 1 small bottle good italian dressing
  • 3 T parmesan
  • Garlic Pepper
  • Salad Supreme seasoning

Directions
  1. Cook pasta in water well salted with kosher salt and a drizzle of olive oil, until al dente
  2. Rinse well with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the pasta
  3. While pasta is cooking halved tomatoes into large mixing bowl
  4. Add pasta when cool
  5. Mix together parmesan and a few shakes of garlic pepper and salad supreme
  6. Pour about 3/4 bottle of dressing over the pasta and tomatoes, add parmesan mix and mix all together well
  7. ((At this point, I put in fridge over night and finish the next morning.))
  8. About half an hour before serving, fry bacon and lay on paper towel
  9. Tear any stems off spinach leaves
  10. Cube cheese
  11. Add bacon, spinach and cheese to salad.
  12. Stir and taste, I usually add a little more dressing/spices as needed as the pasta and tomatoes will soak up some of the dressing overnight.
