Spinach is good for you, so they say. But this green leafy vegetable has so much recipe potential, too. Raw, it adds a vibrant verdant hue to our recipe for linguine with green sauce, or the green-is-good smoothie with avocado, banana and almond milk. Cooked, we love it wilted in soups and stews, stuffed into ricotta and rotolo, or steamed and tossed through with a miso dressing à la René Redzepi and Nadine Levy Redzepi. And as for a spankopita, the flaky spinach and feta pie just can’t be beat.
