This was ok, not great. Made it for company as written, but got lukewarm reviews (which I agree with). Will look for another recipe.

This was awesome! I will admit to a wee bit of skepticism while making it, because I thought the sauce would never get thick, but guess what? It thickened! I used whole wheat spaghetti as I had no bow-tie pasta, and I also added some pancetta and onion. This was a simple week-day meal that we all enjoyed! Made for ZWT 5

Thanks for a good recipe Kim. It was fast and tasty as you promised it to be. I reckon some toasted pine nuts would just finish it off-they go so well with spinach and bacon. It's also the first time I ever bought frozen spinach-normally I would blanch and chop my own. How convenient is that stuff for this kind of dish?!

Fabulous! I used regular spaghetti noodles as it was all I had. I also added some chopped grape tomatoes, diced chicken for extra protein, and used lean turkey bacon. This was so delish! We have made this with fresh spinach, but gasp highly recommend using the frozen for this dish.
