Bacon Mushroom Spinach Pasta

Ingredients

• 8 oz bacon, diced coarsely
• 8 oz spinach
• 8 oz mushrooms
• 1 can tomato sauce
• Minced garlic
• 1 lb pasta
• 1/2 cup cream (optional)
• Pepper, chili powder, and/or basil to taste

Instructions

Sauce

1. Cook the bacon over medium heat until slightly crispy. Set aside in a bowl.
2. Cook the mushrooms in the bacon’s grease until cooked to a desired amount. Halfway through, about a few minutes in, add the minced garlic.
3. Pour in the can of tomato sauce and bring to a simmer.
4. Add the spinach, pressing into the sauce so as to wilt. Once starting to wilt, add back in the bacon.
5. Add pepper, chili powder, and/or basil if desired. Remove from heat. Stir in about half a cup of cream (or more, if feeling decadent).

Pasta

1. Meanwhile, you should have been cooking your pasta. Add sauce to pasta and serve.
