Whole Wheat Flour 2Tbsp. Heavy Cream Salt & Pepper to taste 1 Chicken breast, cooked and diced small. *OPTIONAL* ​ Instructions: Heat oven to 375°.

At this point, add 1 Tbsp of Whole Wheat flour to the pan and stir very well to create a thickened mixture that soaks up the oil and water, then add the Heavy Cream- stirring continuously. After that is well combined, add in the spinach, and take the pan off the burner to cool. *Add optional cooked chicken here* Lay out your pie crusts. Use a small bowl to cut out about 8 - 10 circles. Once the veggie mixture is cool, divide it between the circles-placing it in the middle of each one. Fold them over and crimp with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and apply the rest of the olive oil liberally on top of each one. Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy!

Heavy Cream Kosher Salt & Pepper to Taste 1 Bag of Washed Spinach ​ Instructions: First pat the Mahi Mahi dry and place the flour in a shallow dish. Dip the fish into the flour and coat it on all sides. Cook the pancetta in a large frying pan until nice and crispy; set aside. Then add 1 tbsp. of L.O.V.E.'s Arbosana Olive Oil into the hot pan with the pancetta fat. Place the floured Mahi Mahi in the pan to fry. Flip occasionally to cook through. While frying the fish, place the other tablespoon of olive oil into a medium sized sauce pot. Once hot, grate the fresh garlic right into the hot oil. Cook them for a few minutes until they are soft but not brown, then add the can of diced tomatoes. Cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes to cook off some of the liquid, then reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste. Once the Mahi Mahi is fried on all sides and looks nice and crispy, you are ready to plate! First place a bed of spinach on each plate. Then add the hot fried fish right on top. Spoon the creamy tomato sauce all over (this will help wilt the spinach) and then top the dish with the fried pancetta. Enjoy!
