Artichoke, Bacon, Swiss Farfalle

This is a twist on a dish I used to roll up in a pizza crust (sans noodles, milk and eggs).

Ingredients:

8 oz farfalle (bowtie pasta)
1/2 small onion
1T butter
2 eggs
1 can evaporated skim milk
1/4 t nutmeg (because we all know that nutmeg and swiss are like PB & J)
2 1/4 cups shredded swiss cheese
1 box frozen artichoke hearts (thawed)
1 box frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
1/2 cup crumbled bacon
1/2 cup store bought bread crumbs (you can make your own of course)
Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, drain.

2. Meanwhile, heat butter in skillet over medium heat. Grate in onion (you can chop if you prefer). Stir until tender (about 5 minutes).

3. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Add artichoke, spinach, bacon, onion, pasta, and 2 cups of cheese. Pour into a 9x11 baking dish.

4. Bake, covered, for 20 minutes. In a bowl mix together remaining cheese and bread crumbs. After 20 minutes, remove cover and sprinkle bread crumb mixture over the dish. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until the top is browned. Let sit 10 mintutes before serving.
