Except for baking my recipes rarely have ingredients with precise measurements. Since I cook for one and occasionally two and a half, I just judge everything on how many plates it needs to make. This is a quick supper that most people seem to like and is pretty simple.
Fry a few slices of bacon in a large skillet. Reserve 2 Tbs. of the bacon grease. Saute fresh spinach or arugula leaves in 1 Tbs. bacon drippings (my Southern influence comes through) until greens are wilted. Add a little salt and pepper unless you're already on a low-salt diet and some red pepper flakes if you want. Remove and set aside. Add drained chopped tomatoes to another tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet and heat thoroughly. Return the spinach to the skillet and add cooked penne or rigatoni pasta and combine all ingredients. If it seems dry toss with a little extra olive oil. Serve up in pasta bowls and garnish with crumbled bacon pieces and parmesan. A nice salad and garlic bread and you're done!
