I prefer cooked/wilted spinach over uncooked so this sound good. Posting for safe keeping.
Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) package penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 slices bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed and torn into bite-size pieces
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
2. Add the penne pasta, and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Place bacon in the skillet, and cook until browned and crisp.
5. Add garlic, and cook for about 1 minute.
6. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook until heated through.
7. Place the spinach into a colander, and drain the hot pasta over it so it is wilted.
8. Transfer to a large serving bowl, and toss with the remaining olive oil, and the bacon and tomato mixture.
