One of my New Years goals was to eat fresh and not waste. I'm proud to say I used a whole costco size bag of spinach without wasting ANY! Where did it all go? Now you will know!
Easy pasta dinner!
Pasta
Bell peppers
Fresh Spinach
Chicken ( cubed, shredded, chopped, doesn't matter)
Basil
Mozzarella
(optional: crushed red pepper)
Cook pasta
Saute precooked chicken cubes in olive oil and basil
Add chopped bell peppers and then Add spinach last
**(if chicken isn't cooked already, just cut up and pan fry first before adding veggies, i just had some boiled chicken left over)
~add dash of crushed red pepper if u want for a lil kick maybe a dash of salt to your own taste
Put on top of pasta and then add shredded mozzarella cheese on top!
Taaada! Super tasty and easy dinner. Honestly i thought i was eating at an Italian restaurant for a second.
Other add ins that might be good
-avocado
-mushrooms
- eggplant - zucchini?
Another variation of it that was amazing was this:
Pork cubed/sliced into small pieces and seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning
Can of Cream of mushroom
bell peppers
spinach
(no basil or mozzarella cheese)
BUT MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE is...
frozen banana
Spinach
milk
natural peanut butter
(tastes like a milk shake)
I've also put spinach in any other smoothie type drink, made salmon cakes with spinach, mashed potatoes, eggs...it can pretty much go in ANYTHING.
one more I remembered I made:
Spinach Tortellini Salad
Tortellini (cheese)
Portuguese sausage
spinach
olives
shredded cheese
Spinach just makes me feel better about anything I make with it pretty much.
