How to cook deliciously - Penne Pasta with Spinach and Bacon

1. Stage

Place spinach into a colander in the sink; set aside.

2. Stage

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

3. Stage

While penne is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir bacon in hot oil until browned and crisp. Add garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes; cook until heated through.

4. Stage

Drain hot pasta over spinach in the colander so it wilts. Transfer spinach-pasta mixture to a large serving bowl. Top with bacon-tomato mixture and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; toss until evenly combined.
