I took a Bruschetta sauce recipe we liked and added some spinach, making it Bruschetta Florentine :)
It's a simple quick sauce but looks and tastes much fancier.
Put up pot of water to boil for pasta
saute half knob of chopped garlic in Canola oil till starting to brown
season garlic with whatever you like (basil, oregano, thyme, black pepper, crushed red pepper)
lower flame and add a generous plash of Balsamic vineagar
add 1/2 can spinach (Spinach came from .... you guessed, Aldis)
add a can of diced tomatoes and a half can of water
(these were Hunts fire roasted but Aldsis plain diced tomatoes are fine too)
let sauce heat, stirring occasionally till pasta (of your choice) is cooked
we use various brands of whole wheat pastas with extra fiber and protein but plain is fine too
last night's was a thin spaghetti by Barilla but think we have preferred angel hair
Aldis sells a good whole wheat pasta for 99cents
I served a salad with it and used the sauce left in the pan as a salad dressing!
