One Pot Pasta with Sausage and Beet Greens - quick and easy pasta for busy weeknights!

20-Minute One-Pot Pasta with Sausage and Beet Greens #pasta #recipe #glutenfree crunchycreamysweet.com

This recipe is reason 4657838 why I have the best readers ever. Not only I had and amazing response to my recent personal story blog post, not only I shared this crazy idea of adding raw beets to your smoothie BUT! You guys read it, you left comments and you tried the smoothie! And when I asked what should I do with the greens - so many of you responded on the post and on my social media with your suggestions. THANK YOU!

I read all of them and as soon as I got a new batch of beets for our daily smoothies - I set out to experiment with the greens. I buy organic beets and they are so big and the greens are so full and long! It seems like such a waste to throw them away. I needed ideas and you guys shared yours with me. So many of you use them just like spinach and that was a light-bulb moment for me.

So today's recipe is the result.

Saucy Pasta with Sausage and Beet Greens #recipe #onepot #pasta #glutenfree crunchycreamysweet.com

Saucy pasta with sausage and green beets. All cooked together in one pot in just 20 minutes. It's hearty, satisfying, absolutely delicious, gluten-free (if you use gluten-free pasta) and kid-approved. A total winner!!

One pot dinners are such time savers but for me they are also a sanity savers. I had such a crazy busy week but thanks to my go-to pasta dishes and slow-cooker meals, dinner time didn't suffer. It was a breeze!

Enjoy!

    This may be a dumb question, but, when you say beet greens do you include the stems in the recipe? I have more stems than viable greens. I can't wait to make this.

    Thank you

    I love adding any kind of greens to pasta. It makes them so much heartier. I have actually never tried beet greens before though, I should change that!

    I'm always looking for a way to use up my beet greens! I usually just juice them, but I'm definitely going to try making this pasta 🙂
