Easy Recipes

• 10 oz. frozen spinach, thawed (if bagged, no need to thaw)
• 1 large onion, sliced thin or chunked
• 6-10 cloves garlic, sliced or chopped
• 1 can small white beans
• 10 or so sun-dried tomatoes, re-hydrated and cut up
• 2-3 cups leftover pasta or rice (if you have to cook up pasta, use capellini coz it's fast
• and works well with this dish)
• salt, pepper to taste
• pinch nutmeg (I always add nutmeg to spinach dishes)
• Sprinkle of Parmesan-type cheese optional

Spray non-stick skillet with olive oil spray or use a teaspoon or two of olive oil. Heat pan, saute onions and garlic until golden but not burnt. Add spinach and tomatoes, stir and cook a couple of minutes until starting to get dry. Stir in beans and seasonings, check and correct for taste, then stir in pasta until warmed through.

I just finished making this for the first time, and couldn't get enough! It's colorful and nourishing enough to serve to company as a main course, and reheats well.

High protein from beans, lots of vitamins from veggies, carbs from pasta (try to limit yourself to about a cup of the pasta or rice or the veggie mix will get lost),virtually no fat, basically a complete meal in one skillet! Can't wait for tomorrow to have leftovers for lunch!
