“1. Acid is one of the important additions to meals in general (along with salt and fat). To cut the bitterness of the spinach, add a splash or two of lemon juice. 2. Bread crumbs are easy to make and far cheaper than purchasing online. Buy a loaf of whole whea” — a cook, 4★
“That looks like a solid weeknight dinner. I like the trick of using fresh pasta to speed it up. And the panko topping is a nice change from the usual bacon or pancetta. Finding fresh tagliatelle where I am can be a pain. When I can't, I just use dried linguine” — a cook, 4★
