We’re almost to the “official” start to summer so we’re thinking light, refreshing, seasonal menus and cocktails right now. And if pasta can be light, I’m here for it! This dish is all-in-one – you’ve got your protein, you’ve got your pasta, you’ve got your …

The Ingredients List
1 lb cod (fresh or frozen) cut into fillets

2 cups fresh spinach
2 green onions (with some dark green parts reserved)

Light enough for a warm summer’s evening but also hearty enough for a cold winter’s night. PERFECTION. Of course, if you don’t Cod – use another white, flaky, mild fish in its place. You can’t go wrong with braising!
