Cooking Instructions

To a 12-inch saucepan over high heat, add Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) , Frozen Zucchini Spirals (10 oz) , Frozen Spinach (12 oz) , Garlic (1 Tbsp) , Salt (1/4 tsp) , and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp) . Saute until the vegetables defrost and start to release liquid for about 5 minutes.

Turn heat down to medium and lay the Linguine (1 lb) flat in a single layer on top of the sauteed vegetables.

Pour Water (2 cups) and Marinara Sauce (1.5 lb) on top so that the linguine is completely submerged. Cover and cook for 12-14 minutes, stirring halfway in between, until pasta is al dente.

Remove the cover and continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated about 3-5 minutes.

Optionally, garnish with Fresh Basil (1 oz) and serve hot.
