Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Serve with a mixed-greens salad and garlic toast.

    Stirring in fresh herbs and greens at the end of cooking brightens the flavor and color of slow-cooked dishes. In addition to the spinach, try stirring in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley or basil.
