A delightful pasta dish combining the creaminess of a light sauce with the savory flavors of bacon and the freshness of spinach.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne until al dente.
Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent sticking.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Lower the heat to avoid burning the garlic.
Pour in the cream and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring to combine.
Add a splash of pasta water to thin the sauce if needed.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.
Cover the skillet briefly to help the spinach wilt faster.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce and bacon in a serving bowl.
Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
