While we love baby spinach for its ease of use, any green can be used in its place.

Seek out artichoke hearts packed in water or use thawed frozen artichokes in their place.

Cherry tomatoes are a go-to when tomato season is not at its peak.

Grape tomatoes provide a sweet and juicy alternative, ensuring a satisfying and flavorful meal.

We use white miso, which is light and slightly sweet.

Whisking the miso into the reserved cooking water makes it easier to incorporate into the pasta.

If youre looking for a boost of protein, serve it with roasted chicken or white beans on top.

Serve with a drizzle of good olive oil and a green salad on the side.

Fresh zucchini blends perfectly with the lemony sauce.

Mozzarella pearls are the perfect size for mixing into the finished dish.
