Bacon, Balsamic, Tomato and Spinach Sauce

I'd honestly never thought much about vinegar until Joel came into my life and started convincing me that it was very much like wine - it matters where it comes from, how long it's been aged and that the more it costs, the better it is.

It definitely took some taste testing, but we now have a $30/month balsamic vinegar habit. The stuff we like comes from William Sonoma and is worth every penny.

Oh, balsamic, you sweet delicious bastard! Much like my initial feelings about red wine, I had no idea this would become such a love affair.

Recipe for Joel's Magic Bacon Spinach Sauce

• 1 lb Good Bacon
• 8-10 Fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
• 2-3 Healthy Drizzles of REALLY GOOD BALSAMIC vinegar (Did I say REALLY GOOD?)
• 4-6 Cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
• A big handful of baby spinach leaves (not pictured because Joel hadn't gotten home with them yet when I started)
• Parm

The first time I ever made this recipe, Joel was at work and started texting me very. specific. instructions on how to prepare it. (Which is super hot! I love it when he bosses me around.) 

Melt the bacon on medium heat!

Don't let it brown!

Add the tomatoes and then a healthy glug of Balsamic.

Let it simmer until it turns into nectar.

NECTAR!

I'll be home in seven minutes. Have my martini ready. Two olives, bitch!

He wouldn't even let me add the garlic or spinach until he got home because you basically toss them into the "nectar" about two minutes before you're ready to serve.

I've made it several times since and it's become a favorite. Normally I make my own pasta from scratch, but I didn't have time the other night, so Joel bought fresh spinach pasta at Pasta Works. (One of the best compliments he's ever given me about my cooking is that he likes my pasta better than theirs - and theirs is legendary.)

We ate in the garden that night and washed it all down with a bottle of Barbera.

This recipe calls for five ingredients (six including the parmesan cheese) and as long as you make sure they're all high quality, you'll have a hard time screwing this one up.

(I've been cooking so much lately that I'm backlogged. Coming soon: another red sauce for pasta, my version of the perfect BLT, Caprese pizza, homemade tomato paste and Saag Paneer with homemade cheese! Stay tuned.)

I've been dying to make this again...or eat it at your house again...one of us should really get on that! ;-)

I would absolutely agree that THAT Williams-Sonoma balsamic is phenomenal. Was totally blown away when I sampled it.
