This is a kind of pasta that's quite popular in Japan and often served in restaurants. It's surprisingly easy to make so I make it regularly at home.Thickly sliced bacon is the best! Work quickly once you've added the spinach. For 2 servings. Recipe by Mo-ri-zu

I wanted to make a creamy pasta that didn't use any cream.Cook the bacon on low heat to render the fat.Boiling the spaghetti in salt water increases its flavor. For 2 people. Recipe by Ayuna

I gave a little twist to my simple spaghetti dish by using penne.Penne takes a bit longer to cook (13-14 minutes) than regular spaghetti (7 minutes), so it may be best to start sautéing the ingredients after the penne is added to the boiling water.Season well with salt and pepper.

Thanks to everyone, this recipe has become a hot topic with over 200 people trying it out! This is a golden recipe for making a simple yet delicious pasta using spinach! The origin of this recipe: When making spinach dishes like ohitashi, I thought of setting aside some spinach to quickly whip up a pasta dish with bacon and shimeji mushrooms from the fridge. The result is a vibrant and delicious pasta, perfect for a weekend lunch!

Had some whole grain pasta elbows I need to use. Some bacon and mushrooms, bingo, this is the result. Pretty easy, doesn't take too long. Only 2 pots used and needed cleaning.

I was cleaning out the frezzer to make room for this weeks prepared meals. I had frozen spinnach and pre-cooked frozen chicken strips and thought that might be good with mushrooms and bacon. If you don't like spinnach, cut up tomato would also be good in this dish.

In The Netherlands we have a meal called boerenkoolstamppot which is made with potatos, curly kale and often also smoked bacon. The combo of bacon and curly kale goes really well so I decided to use the two ingredients as a base for a great tasting pasta.
