We recommend setting Grandma’s Noodles out for 10-30 mins before cooking to thaw, but this is not required.
Start pot of water and turn up heat to bring to a rolling boil. Add noodles and cook for 12-15 minutes while preparing meat and vegetables.

Cook bacon in a large non-stick skilled over medium heat until crisp. Transfer meat to a paper towel lined plate and pour off all but one Tblsp. of drippings from the pan.
Caramelize tomatoes and sugar in the remaining drippings over medium heat, about 5 minutes, or until they begin to brown.
Add leeks and saute until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Deglaze the skillet with wine and simmer until liquid is nearly evaporated.
Add chicken broth, vinegar, and pepper flakes, and simmer until liquid is reduced by about a third, or about 5 minutes.
Add spinach, thyme, and cooked bacon to tomato mixture.
Transfer cooked pasta from cooking pot to skillet with tongs and toss with remaining ingredients.
