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).

If you're looking for a pasta sauce with authentic Italian flavor, you have to go with fresh tomatoes. They're all about doing simple things well in Italy, so make sure to have some quality olive oil and parmesan on hand for this splendid sauce.

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
Parmesan cheese, to taste
Combine the basil, garlic, chopped tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well. Let the sauce stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
Toss the sauce with hot, cooked pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
