This recipe will make you say OMG with every bite. It is a WOW combination of flavors from the creamy melted Ricotta to the sweet caramelized onions and finally to the slight bitterness of the greens. It is an amazing combo & so easy that your family or guests will be so amazed how you created such a delicious combo. Greens are so healthy for us as they are filled with iron, Vitamin K and are an important part of alkalizing our bodies yet people eat too little of them. This recipe is a great way to get a lot of greens & since they are combined with the sweet onions I bet your kids will even eat them!

Pasta is good any time of year. Use gluten-free pasta or whole wheat or spinach pasta but don’t pass on this recipe! Enjoy

INGREDIENTS
 3 Large ONIONS thinly sliced
 3 GARLIC CLOVES either pressed or finely chopped

3

Add a splash of salt to a large pot of water & bring it to a boil.
Add noodles when water is boiling and cook according to the package. (If using homemade paste it will only cook for a few minutes but taste & remove when it the way you like it, preferably "Aldente'"

4

While pasta is cooking, add the shredded beet greens or kale to the caramelized onion mixture & cook 5-8 more minutes until they are tender. Taste & season with salt & pepper till desired.

Add 1/2 of the ricotta cheese & stir into the hot cooked pasta to melt it. Then add 3/4 of the Parmesan cheese & stir.

8

Add roasted pine nuts & a bit more ricotta & parmesan cheese but not all & stir gently but making sure it is all mixed.
