Another fun way to use leftover spinach

Why not use it as a way to add healthy bulk to meat sauce? It's so easy: just saute meat, onion and seasonings, then add pasta sauce. Bring to a boil, then add spinach. Stir it in the sauce, then cover and allow to cook on very low heat so it has a chance to wilt. The result is healthy, delicious and a GREAT way to sneak some vegetables into your food. I think this would work well for children who are picky eaters as you cannot even taste the spinach. Enjoy!
