A refreshing citrus dressing accents the salad for my popular menu. I often toss in some meslun lettuce with the spinach and add apples for variety. --Arlene Butler, Ogden, Utah
This popular Southeast Asian street fare is known as mee goreng (fried noodles). Look for the sweet bean sauce and noodles (which are sometimes frozen) at Asian markets; substitute dried linguine for lo mein. You can always use less chile paste to make a milder version.
Penne pasta tossed in a creamy sauce spiked with Parmesan cheese and pancetta, the Italian version of bacon, makes a marvelously satisfying dish for weeknight suppers.
