Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup pine nuts
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 large onions, quartered lengthwise through root end, sliced crosswise (about 4 cups)
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 bunches 2-inch-diameter golden beets with fresh healthy greens; beets peeled, each cut into 8 wedges, greens cut into 1-inch-wide strips
12 ounces farfalle (bow-tie pasta)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus additional for serving

Steps:

  • Heat heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add pine nuts and stir until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons oil and onions to same skillet and sauté until beginning to soften and turn golden, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to sauté until onions are tender and browned, about 30 minutes longer. Add garlic and stir 2 minutes. Scatter beet greens over onions. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons oil over; cover and cook until beet greens are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook beets in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer beets to medium bowl. Return water to boil. Add pasta to beet cooking liquid and cook until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot.
  • Stir onion-greens mixture and beets into pasta. Add pasta cooking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls to moisten. Season with salt and coarsely ground black pepper. Stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese. Divide pasta among shallow bowls. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Serve, passing additional cheese.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. The roasted beets were good, but the beet greens were a bit too bitter for my taste. I would probably not make this dish again.

This recipe is a bit too labor-intensive for me. I would prefer a dish that is easier to prepare.

I had a hard time finding golden beets at my local grocery store. I ended up using regular beets and they worked just fine. The dish was still delicious!

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some additional seasoning, such as garlic or onion powder. The roasted beets are also a bit too sweet for my liking.

This farfalle with golden beets, beet greens, and pine nuts is a flavor bomb! The roasted beets and beet greens are perfectly complemented by the toasted pine nuts and tangy goat cheese. I loved the pop of color and crunch that the pistachios added.
