This was SO delicious and very, VERY easy. My husband and daughter both loved it. I almost always have left-overs with dinner, but not this time! I used whole wheat pasta and my husband STILL loved it.

This was decent. I added a bit of brown sugar to cut some of the acidity from the tomatos. I think if I make this again, Ill add some onions to my bacon.

I'm giving this 4 stars because as written, this was a very bland, very soggy dish. With the addition of oregano, basil, lemon juice, chicken, and some sugar, it turned into a spectacular dinner. I didn't use the diced tomato called for and instead substituted halved grape tomatoes. Also, try adding some diced broccoli to the bacon drippings. Good luck!

Very good and very easy. Even my picky teen daughters loved it. I added a little heavy whipping cream to thicken the sauce a bit, but very good!

I precooked my bacon for this recipe, and then added it to the oil just to heat up. I also added the spinach to the skillet to warm as suggested by another reviewer. It definately doesn't look like a promising recipe when it's completed and in the bowl, but it's surprising tasty!

This was pretty good. I cooked a 1/2 pound of bacon, then drained the grease and fried an onion and 2 cloves of garlic. I added a bag of baby spinach, a 1/2 teaspoon of basil, a can of diced tomatos with jalapenos and a little half & half. Then I put it in the pot with the pasta. Sprinkle a little parmesan when serving.

I think this was a really good recipe. It just lacked a little seasoning in my opinion. I added extra salt and pepper, but still will probably adjust a little more next time. It definitely helped to serve a nicely marinated chicken breast on top. The seasoning from that added to the pasta. I wanted to give 4 1/2 stars, not 4 because we WILL make this again. ooh, i sprinkled a little grated parmesan on top and it would be really good with a few toasted pine nuts!!!!

This was an easy, light, delicious and quick supper. Four stars because it's so simple. It's great recipe to have in your repertoir because you can almost always have these items in the pantry for a last-minute meal. Perhaps I'll add in Italian seasonings and/or black olives next time. Thanks for posting this one, Jean.

Quick and simple pasta recipe. I used 1 lb of bacon and chose to steam the spinach to wilt it. I also added a little extra garlic as is my personal preference. Next time I will probably add Feta cheese.

This tastes great. The second time I made it though, I used a box of frozen spinach instead of fresh, and the spinach absorbed all the sauce and it became one big green lump of bacony-tomatoey sauce. So be warned--only use FRESH spinch!

This is a good recipe for a weeknight meal since it's so easy to prepare. I used 8 oz pasta, extra bacon and added a generous amount of black pepper. I like cheese on everything, so I also sprinkled some Parm on top. Next time I'll try using rotel tomatoes for extra spice and drain some of the liquid off.

Oh man this is delightful! We all loved it including three kiddies. Hubby said it was "Awesome". I used extra bacon because I had a bigger box of pasta, also used fresh tomatoes which I think is the way to go. So yummy. Thank you will definitely be making this again.

Family loved this recipe and it is now in weekly rotation. I did make changes so it is 5 stars by my liking.I used the diced tomatoes with oregano and basil and a can of rotel for a bit of spice. I also use the wheat penne pasta. After it's done sprinkle some parmesan cheese on dish and garlic toast on the side!

Served this for group. Can't believe the recipe doesn't call for removing all the bacon grease before adding garlic and tomatoes. A whole box of penne pasta was too much for the amount of sauce. I would cut back on pasta by 1/2 (for 4 people) or double the sauce. I will try the suggestions of other reviewers to add cheese, spicy tomatoes, etc.

This was delicious and very easy to make. My husband loved it. Instead of pouring the pasta over the spinach we drained the pasta first and mixed the spinach in with the warm pasta.
