Categories     Bacon     Leafy Green     Pasta     Tomato

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package (12 ounce) penne pasta
2 tablespoons (divided) olive oil
6 slices bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 can (14,5 ounce) diced tomatoes
1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed and torn into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta, and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place bacon in the skillet, and cook until browned and crisp. Add garlic, and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook until heated through.
  • Place the spinach into a colander, and drain the hot pasta over it so it is wilted.
  • Transfer to a large serving bowl, and toss with the remaining olive oil, and the bacon and tomato mixture.
