Penne pasta with bacon and spinach

While surfing in the internet sometime last month, I found a recipe which is quick and easy to prepare. It is a light meal which will compliment anything. Since me and my daughter are a great pasta lovers ,and I had fresh tomatoes in the garden during that time, I decided to try it.
This is a great dish. I sprinkled  feta cheese and we loved it.
Recipe: Ingredients
  • 1 (12 ounce) package penne pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 (14.5 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. Add the penne pasta, and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
