2 cups spinach, washed and chopped
3 slices bacon
1/2 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 3/4 ounces canned Italian or Italian-style salad dressing
1 tablespoon dry mustard

1/2 pound prosciutto pasta
Wash spinach, and place in a large bowl. Stir in bacon, onion, garlic, paprika, bell pepper and Italian dressing. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large skillet or saucepan of water to a boil; add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Return pasta to skillet. Stir in salad dressing, dried mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes. Toss pasta with bacon and green pepper; spoon into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake uncovered, at least 3 hours, or until al dente. Fill as needed with cooked pasta, tomato sauce with tomato paste, Caesar salad dressing with Caesar dressing, and salt and pepper to taste. Chill in the pan for 5 hours, or until pasta is cooked and the sauce is smooth.
