I went out for lunch at a local Italian restaurant. This style of sauce was on the menu. I love trying new things. It was delicious!!! I had to recreate it at home. I hope you like my results.

Steps

30 mins

1

Start by cooking your bacon stripes. Cook until lightly crisp but still a bit chewy. Set cooked bacon aside.
2

Start Your fettuccini. In a large stock pot add 5 quarts hot water and 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a rolling boil.
3

Add fettuccini and stir, let cook in boiling water for 15-18 minutes until cooked.
4

While the pasta is cooking, start the sauce. In a large deep sided pan, add butter and melt it over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, constantly whisking.
5

Add in warm milk and whisk until a smooth sauce appears. Bring this to a soft boil whisking slowly so bottom doesn't burn. Cook until thickened.
6

Gently whisk in both cheeses. Whisk and cook until a creamy sauce forms. If sauce is too thick you can add a 1/4 warm milk at a time until desired thickness.
7

Remove from heat, taste. Add pepper and salt if you feel it's needed. Both cheeses are salty. You can add the full amount called for or just to taste.
8

When pasta is cooked, drain it and add sauce to pasta in the large pot. Immediately add the fresh spinach. Mix well.
9

Add two crumbled cooked bacon pieces to top each portion.
