Linguine with Bacon, Baby Spinach, and Sage
I just love when I look at the back of a box and find a recipe with ingredients that I already have in my kitchen! This pasta dish is seriously one of my favorites of all time. And yes, it has bacon in it. I’m TRYING to gradually incorporate meat into my dishes. It’s not really working, but every once in a while I succeed, and it’s usually with bacon. I think because it’s chopped so small within a mound of other things that I am capable of eating it.
Okay so this pasta dish is indescribably amazing. I got it off the back of a Ronzoni Whole Wheat Linguine box (which I mildly altered). It’s super simple, super cheap, and super awesome. I cannot tell you how many times I find winning recipes on the back of food boxes. Don’t be so quick to throw boxes away! There are some incredible recipes just waiting to be tested.
