You need

To buy

  • 3 oz fresh spinach or mixed greens

From your shelf

  • 11 1/2 oz Lean Cuisine protein kick spaghetti with meat sauce

Staples

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

  1. Peel and thinly slice 2 cloves garlic. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the frozen spaghetti directly from the package to the skillet and stir frequently, breaking it apart as it thaws and heats through, about 5 minutes. The edges will soften first; keep stirring.
  3. Fold in 3 oz fresh spinach or mixed greens and stir until wilted into the spaghetti and sauce, about 1 minute. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Divide between two bowls and serve at once.

Note Swap the greens for 1/2 cup diced bell pepper or broccoli florets if you prefer. Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for one day; reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
