  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  • While pasta cooks, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Toss in tomatoes and cook and stir for 5 minutes. Gradually toss in spinach and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer mixture for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place turkey bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble and transfer to tomato mixture.
  • Pour tomato mixture into drained pasta and add Gorgonzola cheese.
