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).

With plenty of basil and a bite from balsamic, this tangy pesto sauce would be equally at home on a grilled pizza or some simple crostini with a drizzle of olive oil.

Used this on a simple pizza as sort of a combo of pesto and pizza sauce. It was perfect!
