Ingredients:

8 oz. frozen spinach
1/2 lb. pasta
1t balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
salt
pepper
garlic powder

Other items for pasta salad: sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, frozen corn, broccoli


Directions:

1. Microwave the frozen spinach for two minutes on high. While the spinach is being microwaved, drizzle one fourth of the olive oil on a pan and put the stove on medium heat.
2. Move the spinach to the pan and saute. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Bring 3qt. of water to a boil.
4. Put pasta in the boiling water and turn down heat. ( the pasta is best al dente)
5. Drain pasta and freeze for ten minutes.

7. Combine pasta and spinach.
