Cooking Tips
🥬 Spinach
- Spinach reduces dramatically when cooked — use 3x more than you think.
- Add spinach at the very end of cooking to preserve nutrients.
- Pair with citrus or vitamin C-rich foods to boost iron absorption.
Nutrition: Rich in iron, calcium, vitamin K, and folate. One cup raw has only 7 calories.
Storage: Refrigerate in a dry paper towel-lined container for up to 7 days.
🍝 Pasta
- Salt your pasta water generously — it should taste like the sea.
- Save a cup of pasta water before draining to thicken your sauce.
- Cook pasta 1 minute less than the package says for perfect al dente.
Nutrition: Good source of complex carbohydrates and B vitamins. Whole wheat adds fiber.
Storage: Dry pasta lasts 1-2 years. Cooked pasta keeps 3-5 days refrigerated.
