The simplest pasta sauce I know how to make, also it's super quick to make and will be done by the time the pasta is cooked.

I cooked this with some really nice spinach from #seasonsupply and some fancy Italian chopped tomatoes, but it works fine with whatever you can get your hands on.

Steps

10 Mins

1

Boil some water, salt the water generously
2

When the water is boiling put the Linguine on to cook. Soften them like this so they will fit into the saucepan without breaking.
3

Heat some Olive Oil in the pan and start browning the bacon bits.
4

Add the garlic, I like to grate it, but you could chop it finely if you prefer... Add salt and grind some black pepper.
5

Pull the stalks off the spinach leaves, and rinse under the tap... leave the leaves wet, it helps later...
If you have larger leaves like this roughly chop them down a little bit. If you are using smaller leaves you can just leave them as they are.
6

Once the bacon and garlic is browning up nicely, taste the pasta to check it is almost ready. Everything is quick from this point on.
7

Chuck the spinach into the frying pan. The water from the leaves will help to deglaze the pan.
8

After 30s - 1 minute the leaves will have soaked up the flavour and begun to wilt.
9

Add the tomatoes
10

Give the sauce a quick stir and leave to warm the tomatoes through while you drain the pasta.
11

Serve on a plate. It is also nice if you add the sauce to the pasta and stir together...
