In honor of Michael's approaching half-marathon and the long runs that have been part of the training, I'm going to post a couple of very easy and delicious pasta recipes we've discovered along the way! Enjoy :)

Spinach, Tomato and Baco Pasta
Pretty much the Quick Creamy Spinach & Tomato Pasta on All Recipes

INGREDIENTS

• 8 ounces angel hair pasta
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 2 cups baby spinach leaves
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon prepared basil pesto
• 5 slices of chopped cooked bacon
  

DIRECTIONS

• Cut the bacon into small pieces with kitchen scissors and cook in a skillet. Transfer cooked bacon to a plate with a napkin to absorb grease.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook per the package until tender. Drain.
• In the meantime, cook the tomatoes and spinach in the bacon saucepan over medium heat. When the spinach begins to wilt, stir in the sour cream and pesto.
• Add bacon and give the sour cream just a minute to warm up.
• Toss sauce with drained cooked pasta and serve immediately.

So easy and so good!
