I'll always sing the praises of kale, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, but it's time we all showed spinach some love, too. The humble vegetable can make any dish a little more nutritious and a lot tastier, whether it's a smoothie, pasta or salad.
Here are 42 spinach recipes that are as easy as they are delicious, ranging from bacon-wrapped black cod with spinach and capers to slow cooker stuffed shells to pasta Florentine with grilled chicken. These ideas will help you make the most of spring's in-season produce (although you can cook them any time of year), even if you're a newbie in the kitchen.
