Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Lemony pasta is a welcome alternative to heavy, tomato sauce-laden noodles. The trifecta of basil, lemon juice, and parmesan makes a light yet flavorful dish.

1/2 pound linguine pasta
2 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil leaves
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cook the linguine in a large pan of boiling water until al dente as directed on the package. Drain the pasta well and return it to the pan.
Add the butter, lemon juice, basil, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper to the pasta and toss well.
Place the pasta in individual serving bowls and sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan. Serve immediately.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Very good and light flavors, but no way it serves four people. Two as a side dish maybe. I doubled it.
