  • 2 oz whole wheat spaghetti (or any pasta you like)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, toasted

  • Salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta to al dente according to package directions; drain and set aside.

Once hot, add the beat greens, water, and a pinch of salt and pepper; cover the skillet and cook until the greens are wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
