WHEAT PASTA WITH SAUTEED BEET GREENS AND TOMATOES
This recipe was inspired by a trip to the farmer's market in fall. It makes great use of an ingredient you might otherwise throw away, and beautifully shows off fall colors. The juice from the beet greens does stain, so be careful to use a non-staining cutting board and wash your utensils right away- also be careful of your clothes.

- Separate greens from beets; set beets aside for later use. Wash greens well.

- While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a pot or pan large enough to hold all of the greens.
- Add garlic and cook over medium heat until slightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add stems and onions, and cook until stems are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add greens and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 4-5 minutes.
