  1. If the spinach mixture gets dry while it is heating, add more olive oil.
     
  2. I love it!
     
  3. Excellent side dish for sausage. The bacon added just the right touch.
     
  4. You might halve the recipe; it makes a ton! but the flavor is great.
     
  5. I wanted to make this a little more like a baked casserole - so I added some cream to the cooked pasta (and salt). I upped the amount of olive oil, sauteed the onions & garlic, then added a 12 oz. bag of fresh baby spinach to the skillet to cook briefly. Stirred in the bacon, pasta and about 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese. Placed in covered dish and heated in the oven at 350 for about half an hour. Delicious!!!
