Lemon couscous and spinach with butter
The Birds Eye couscous comes ready-cooked with spinach and bright lemon, so tonight you just warm it through with butter and a touch of garlic for a soft, quick dinner. The pasta cooks in its own moisture while you tend to something else. This shelf does the work.
