Instructions

In a large non-stick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes.
Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate and remove all but 2 tbsp of the fat from the pan.
Increase heat to medium high and cook chicken until golden, sprinkling with Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove chicken from pan and set aside with bacon.
Add tomato paste to same pan, stirring until deep rich red colour, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle with chili flakes if using.
Stir in Campbells Cream of Mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
Stir in bucatini (or any long pasta such as penne or rigatoni), spinach, chicken and bacon and mix until evenly coated.
Cook over medium heat until spinach is just wilted and everything is heated through, about 5 minutes.
