Spaghetti with Beet Greens image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
12 ounces spaghetti
1 1/4 pounds beet greens, stems removed and reserved
1/3 cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh ricotta or ricotta salata cheese, or Parmesan shavings

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat and salt it generously. Add the spaghetti and boil, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 9 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
  • 2. Meanwhile, cut the beet green stems into 2-inch pieces. Cut the larger leaves into wide ribbons; leave the smaller ones whole. Swish the stems and then the leaves in a big bowl of cold water to clean (in batches if necessary); lift them from the bowl with your fingers, shake them off and blot with a paper towel-they don't have to be really dry.
  • 3. Put the olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic until golden, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Increase the heat to medium; add the stems and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until you can insert the tip of a knife into the stems without resistance, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, 30 seconds.
  • 4. Turn the heat to medium-high, add the beet greens and cook, tossing occasionally, until the greens are coated with oil and just starting to wilt. Season with salt and cook until the leaves are wilted and tender, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • 5. Pour the pasta on top of the greens and salt lightly. Toss with tongs and add the reserved pasta water. Divide among 4 pasta bowls and top with reserved garlic slices and desired cheese.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I'm not a very experienced cook and I found the instructions a bit difficult to follow. The dish turned out okay, but I don't think I'll be making it again.

The sauce was a bit too watery for my liking. I would have preferred it if it was a little thicker. Otherwise, the dish was delicious and the beet greens were cooked perfectly.

This dish was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the beet greens were cooked for a little longer. Otherwise, the dish was well-made and the flavors were nice.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beet greens. I had some leftover from a salad and I didn't know what to do with them. This recipe was the perfect solution! The spaghetti was delicious and the sauce was flavorful and light.

This spaghetti dish was a delightful surprise! The beet greens added a vibrant color and a slightly bitter flavor that perfectly complemented the sweetness of the tomatoes. The addition of walnuts and feta cheese gave the dish a nice crunch and tangi
