“Salad” ~ Spaghetti!

• 1 pound spaghetti your favorite
• 4 ounces ricotta
• cheese
• 1 head romaine lettuce - sliced
• 7 cloves garlic - crushed& chopped
• 1/2 red onion - sliced
• 1/2 pound bacon - cut in pieces
• 1 dash red pepper flakes
• olive oil for drizzling
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1. Prepare the bacon on a griddle and set aside.
2. Heat a large frying pan with a few drizzles of olive oil. Add the garlic, red onion and a few dashes of red pepper flakes. Let the garlic get slightly golden and let the onion soften. Add the Romaine lettuce. Be Careful! If the Romaine is wet the oil will splatter, so gently add the Romaine and let it cook down. Do not let it become mushy! Let it remain slightly crisp.
3. Prepare the spaghetti as directed, drain and add to the frying pan with the Romaine and toss.
4. Prepare the dressing. Add the dressing and the Ricotta Salada cheese to the spaghetti and toss.
