Delicious shrimp and bacon with tomatoes and spinach served over pasta for a light and tasty meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (12 ounce) package dry fettuccine pasta
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon bacon drippings
  • olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 0.5 small onion, chopped
  • 14 ounces frozen shelled and deveined medium shrimp - thawed and patted dry
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
  • 4 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
Instructions:
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander.
  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep 1 tablespoon of drippings in the skillet and add olive oil. Saute garlic and onion until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in Italian seasoning, black pepper, and diced tomatoes. Cook until liquid reduces by half, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Using a spoon, push the shrimp to the edge of the skillet. In the center, add the spinach, cover, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until wilted. Stir the spinach with the shrimp and add tomato paste for a thicker sauce. Serve over cooked fettuccine.
