Spinach and Tomato Balsamic Pasta
This is one of my go-to, insanely easy recipes for nights I don’t feel like cooking. It’s very versatile–use whatever vegetables are in your fridge. In addition to the onion, tomato, and spinach, I also really love using chopped zucchini.
This salad is equally tasty cold or warm.
