Ingredients
•
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta, dry
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
1 small onion, chopped
•
3 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 medium ripe tomato, chopped, or more to taste

Directions
1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.

While pasta cooks, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Toss in tomatoes and cook and stir for 5 minutes. Gradually toss in spinach and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer mixture for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, place turkey bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble and transfer to tomato mixture.
