- 24-oz jar of marinara or your favorite spaghetti sauce
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 2 large handfuls of spinach, arugula and/or kale (I did a mix)

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter together with the olive oil. Once hot, add in the onion and garlic and sauté for 7 minutes, stirring often so as not to burn the garlic.
