One Skillet BLT Pasta – Quick and easy 30-minute, one skillet pasta recipe with spinach, tomatoes and bacon!
So much I love about this BLT Pasta right now. So, so much!
But first. Hiiii! How are you? Happy about-to-be-the weekend! It’s been a whirlwind week around here; kids, work, keeping up with Brooks Ayers… aye aye aye. I’ve been BUSY!
For that reason, sometimes I just need (want!) completely easy and quickquickquick dinners made in just one skillet. With bacon!
And for the record, let me just say that, when all is said and done, and even when I DO have all the time in the world, I will still want, need and LOVE one skillet dinners. Just sayin’.
Favorite thing about simple recipes like this is that the higher the quality of the ingredients, the fewer ingredients you will need because the flavor of even just one or two ingredients are going to be enough to bring out all the deliciousness.
I’ve always had this thing about high quality ingredients because, if I’m going to use the good stuff, I want to taste the good stuff, you know? Thus, this weeknight beauty is loaded with Hunt’s® ORGANIC Diced Tomatoes which added a wonderful tangy flavor to our pasta, as well as great texture and taste.
Also, if I could just remind you that Hunt’s® uses steam from simple hot water to peel its tomatoes, while some other companies peel with chemicals like *lye. Although, Lye peeling is recognized as safe by the FDA and has no adverse effects on the healthfulness of tomatoes. Nevertheless, it’s still good to know that Hunt’s® peel all their diced, whole, stewed tomatoes using FlashSteam with steam from simple hot water, and no chemical by-products get put back into the earth.
But you guys. This BLT pasta deal is making me look like I have it all-together, you know? On-the-ready and all June-Cleaver-mommy-like. It can do the same for you!
Obviously, I am so in love with this recipe on so many levels. I mean, first and foremost, it’s under 30 minutes, start to finish. Secondly, all ingredients should be hiding in your pantry. Mostly. The only exception is maybe Hunt’s® ORGANIC Diced Tomatoes which you must go hunt for because they’re so good. Thirdly, your other half may ask to have an entire skillet made just for him.
Alright, I think I’ve talked it up enough and it’s probably time for me to leave you alone for a little while. But just remember that this meal is fantastically, wonderfully simple and you must make it ASAP.
ENJOY!
