Preparation

Step 1

Put the spinach in a large colander and pour over boiling water so it wilts. Press to remove excess liquid and set aside.

Cook pasta. Drain, set aside and keep warm. Meanwhile, spray a large frying pan with cooking spray and place over high heat. Add bacon and onion and stir fry 2-3 minutes.

Add mushrooms, tomatoes and garlic. Stir fry 6-7 minutes or until mushrooms have started to soften. Stir in spinach and pasta. Stir fry a further 1-2 minutes or until piping hot. Remove from heat and stir in the fromage frais.
