I wondered if anyone has any ideas? We have been having alot of salad, but it's a bit passed that now. I was thinking of whizzing it up in the food processor, freezing it and then throwing it in whenever I make pasta etc. ?

If you've got all the other ingredients, how about a quiche? Quiche is lovely because you can add whatever you want really and it makes good portable leftovers.:DDec GC; £208.79/£220

Soup? Or a pesto...I made a lovely rocket and walnut one recently.0

You can make the rocket up into a pesto which should last for months in the fridge. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/recipes/rocket-pesto-499796.html0

sainsbury's did a five day plan using spinach at least 3 times, think salmon, meatballs and pasta dishes - worth having a look at their receipe section0

When we have a glut of spinach from the garden I cook it as normal, cool and freeze. I reheat it gently in a saucepan with a knob of butter and a sprinkle of nutmeg.Away with the fairies.... Back soon0

Spinach: stuffe pancakes....with ricotta, and then a tomato sauce or spanokopita ...yum!
rocket...rocket pesto0 -
LIR: great minds think alike. Pancakes with ricotta and spanokopita were the first things I thought of. Mind you, I'd rather be scoffing those spanokopitas in Greece. Preferably with a half-kilo of retsina to go with it.0

They are both part of my ''I can't think but need to cook'' repetoire.
