Mashed potatoes laced with spinach and infused with olive oil are topped with a savory tomato-based vegetable ragout. Black olive paste lends a salty, meaty quality to the ragout. Ingredients:

2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
3/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk |
4 cups torn spinach |
1/2 cup minced green onions |
2 teaspoons extravirgin olive oil |
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered |
3 cups (1/2-inch) cubed zucchini |
2 cups water |
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil |
2 teaspoons black olive paste |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained |
6 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) grated fresh parmesan cheese |

1. To prepare potatoes, place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Drain.
