I’m really beginning to like spinach and having a couple of bags of frozen spinach in the freezer is fantastic, especially when I haven’t had a chance to do any real shopping, like this week.
There’s a lot of different pasta sauces that you can make without using meat or fish and this one is incredibly tasty.
