100g cubed smoked bacon
200g spaghetti
½ tsp salt
700ml boiling water
2 big handfuls baby spinach (approx 125g)
Crushed black pepper
Equipment: A frying pan or pot, with a lid, that is wide enough to lay the spaghetti flat along the bottom.
Method:
Put pasta in the pan, then add the rest of the ingredients except the spinach and black pepper.
Pour in boiling water and cover with a lid. Bring it to a boil, then remove the lid and stir from time to time. Cook for 8 minutes, until the water evaporates and sauce thickens – the pasta should be al dente by this time. Add the spinach and stir until wilted.
Turn off the heat. Divide it into pasta bowls and serve with plenty of freshly ground black pepper.</pre><div><br>Life update: 77.05kg<br><br>Music: La Femme - <a href="https://music.apple.com/gb/album/paradigmes/1547797203">Paradigmes</a><br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poJYdojdvSg">ASICS x VIVIENNE WESTWOOD GEL-KAYANO™ 27 LTX</a> - Continuing their iconic collaboration, the renowned sports brand and the iconic British brand launch the exclusive ASICS x VIVIENNE WESTWOOD GEL-KAYANO™ 27 LTX sneakers on 20th March globally. <br><br>Worth to try: <a href="http://humanrace.com">Humanrace</a> - Humanrace Skincare is a collection of all-gender skincare products created with the belief that, now more than ever, nothing is more important to humanity than our unified health and wellbeing.</div><div><br></div><blockquote><em>“Humanrace Skincare doesn’t differentiate by race or gender.

<div>Hello everyone. You might not know this, but journaling is my passion. I write one very personal, old school version - pen and paper. I thought it would be great to make this one public and share my thoughts, interesting articles, and books worth reading and movies worth seeing. It’s going to be published weekly (every Sunday).</div><div><br></div><div>A year ago I moved to Spain with my husband. We found a nice place in Sant Feliu de Guixols, a small city located on Costa Brava in Catalonia. This weekend we went for a short trip to visit a few small towns and villages located nearby. We are still in partial lockdown, and there are some mobility restrictions. These limitations pushed us to learn more about our “<em>comarca</em>” and visit many unique places located nearby.</div><div><br></div><div>Ahh, please forgive me for my English, French, Spanish, Italian, Catalan, or Polish mix in this and future posts.
