SPINACH AND TOMATO SAUCE
My mother in-law is an awesome cook and this was the first meal she made for me when my husband and I were dating. Since then anyone I have ever made this for raves about it and makes it themselves. My kids absolutely love it (they are 5 and 7) and the spinach doesn't scare them away. Even our black lab knows when it's being served for dinner and waits to lick the plates, although there is not much left at the end of this meal. .

SALMON AND SPINACH FETTUCCINE
Inspired by my favorite local Italian restaurant's secret recipe. After some trial and error, I think I have it. Creamy Alfredo sauce and salmon complement each other well. Spinach adds great color.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, clams, and tomatoes will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all the excess water before using.
- Don't overcook the clams: Clams only take a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook them or they will become tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality white wine: The white wine in the sauce should be of good quality, as it will add a lot of flavor to the dish. A dry white wine, such as a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, is a good choice.
- Season the sauce to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder you add to the sauce will depend on your personal preferences. Be sure to taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve the pasta immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is still creamy.

Spinach fettuccine with clam butter sauce and diced tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of spinach, clams, tomatoes, and creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table.
