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).

This make-ahead recipe comes in handy on busy days. It's a versatile sauce that can be used on pasta, as a white pizza sauce, or a sauce with chicken or other meat.
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons butter
12 ounces pasta of your choice
Combine the half-and-half, Parmesan, and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese and butter are melted and the sauce is heated through.
Remove the pan from the heat and let cool completely.
Transfer the sauce to a freezer bag or other freezer-safe container. Seal and freeze for up to 4 months.
To use the sauce, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Transfer the sauce to a saucepan and heat over low heat while you cook your pasta. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. Serve with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
