Ingredients:
3 cups medium pasta shells, uncooked
6 oz. baby spinach leaves
4 sliced bacon
2 Tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups shredded Colby Jack or cheddar cheese, divided

Whisk flour into drippings, cooking for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook for 3-5 minutes, whisking often, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup shredded cheese, stirring until melted. Stir in pasta-spinach mixture and chopped bacon, mixing well.
Pour mixture into a 2-qt. casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until heated through.
