Description

This simple and quick pasta dish is a real treat! The sweet cherry tomatoes burst in your mouth, the fresh spinach provides a pleasant texture and the crispy roasted bacon gives the whole thing a savory note. Everything is rounded off with a spoonful of creamy Ricotta. Perfect for a quick lunch or an uncomplicated dinner. I love how quickly this dish is prepared and how good it tastes! Feel free to vary with other pasta varieties or add some chili for a slight spiciness. An absolute favorite recipe when you need something quick!
