BLT Pasta Salad

by Stephanie

Really, BLT is a misnomer. There is no lettuce in this pasta salad — it’s spinach! Regardless, it’s a darn good pasta salad!

BLT Pasta Salad

1 16 oz. pkg. medium shell pasta (or other small to medium pasta)
1 lb. sliced bacon
4 or 5 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 package pre-washed spinach
Champagne or white wine vinegar
Olive oil
8 oz. blue cheese

Cook pasta until tender according to directions. Throw spinach in 1 minute before you remove from heat. Drain and rinse under cool water. Meanwhile, cook the bakon until brown and crisp. Crumble. In large bowl, stir together pasta and spinach, bacon, cheese, tomatoes. Add oil and vinegar to taste. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
