#241 sun dried tomato & spinach pasta

~10 sun dried tomatoes
~1/3 lb spinach
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup chicken stock
2 strips bacon
parmasean cheese
1/2 lb pasta

Boil chicken stock, take off heat and add tomatoes and let steep ~15 mins. Meanwhile, boil water and cook pasta. Cook bacon in a saucepan, remove when crispy and add garlic to the rendered fat, saute ~30 secs and add spinach to wilt. Remove tomatoes from stock, chop and add to the spinach mixture with stock. When pasta is done (cook it aldente so it absorbs the chicken stock), add it to the sauce pan and let sit ~5 mins so stock absorbs. Serve with cheese and bacon.
