Ingredients

> 2 tbsp olive oil
> 5 slices bacon, chopped

> 2 (15 oz) cans diced tomatoes
> 2 3/4 cups water

Stir in the diced tomatoes, water, and salt. Heat to a boil on high. Add the spaghetti and chopped kale to boiling liquid, submerging pasta completely. Return to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain simmer. Cover and cook 10 min., until pasta is al dente.
