Spinach and Bacon Pasta Recipe

INGREDIENTS

* 6 slices bacon, chopped
* 340.8 g penne pasta
* 15 g minced garlic
* 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
* 1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed and torn into bite-size pieces
* 30 ml olive oil, divided

DIRECTIONS

* Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the 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 spinach into a colander, and drain 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.
