Bacon, Tomato & Spinach Spaghetti...

There is something about bacon, tomato and spinach that makes me think of a quick and easy meal. Add a little pasta to that and you have a delicious dinner. We all are looking for that quick comfort meal, especially at this time of year. After making sure the turkey is thawed, the coconut cake is curing in the fridge and the final trip to the grocery store is packed into our pantry… we need to sit down and enjoy a nice easy dinner with a glass of wine before we get back into the kitchen to fix the 'dinner of all dinners' ~ the traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner!

For those of you who are not aware of the on-going weekly series Presto Pasta Night, which was started by Ruth at Once Upon a Feast - Every Kitchen Tells It's Stories some 141 weeks ago; I have also submitted this recipe, there. Ruth has been a tireless champion compiling good, creative and convenient pasta recipes week after week to help others in their dinner decisions. Once or twice a month, she is helped by guest host… This week's guest host is Deb at Kahakai Kitchen, so give her site a look. Deb always has some creative treat from her Hawaiian paradise kitchen, she calls home.

Aloha to Deb and Grazie & Buon Appetito to Ruth!

George’s notes:

• Did you know that there are approximately 600 different shapes of pasta. Examples include spaghetti (thin rods), maccheroni (tubes or cylinders),fusilli (swirls), and lasagne (sheets). Two other noodles, gnocchi and spätzle, are sometimes considered pasta. They are both traditional in parts of Italy.
• Kahakai means near the ocean in Hawaiian.
