Juice from 1 lemon

1/2 tsp. salt

10 oz. fresh spinach, coarsely chopped

    My friend Kristen has been staying with you and suggested that I check out your website. I am hoping the Tangy Pasta recipe will be a hit at my house!

    One other question — Do you happen to know who carries the Al Dente pasta in Grosse Pointe? I know that I have seen it but I am not sure where…
