BEET-GREEN PESTO

Next time you buy beets at the store or farmer's market, don't throw out the tops! A quick whirl in the food processor with toasted pistachios, smashed garlic, and olive oil makes a super easy (and frugal) pesto. Toss with penne for a tasty weeknight dinner.

Steps:

  • Pistachios: Toast pistachios in a skillet over low heat until they're light brown in spots, with a toasty aroma, 2-3 minutes.
  • Greens: Pull leaves from stems and wash thoroughly (they can be sandy). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and blanch the greens for 20 seconds (to preserve their color). Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a bowl of ice water (to stop the cooking).
  • Pesto: Purée the pistachios, garlic, and oil in a food processor until nuts are combined with the oil but still chunky (you don't want to make nut butter). Remove greens from the ice water and squeeze out excess water. Roughly chop them and add to the food processor with a pinch of salt. Pulse to combine, leaving the pesto slightly chunky. Taste for seasoning. Push down the sides of the bowl and pulse 5 more seconds.
  • Assembly: Toss half of the pesto with the cooked penne, adding more as needed. Serve immediately.

1/2 cup shelled pistachios
2 bunches beet greens
1 clove garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt to taste
1 pound penne pasta, cooked al dente

FIELDS OF GREEN PESTO

Pesto adds so much to so many dishes-swirled into a potato or sweet pepper soup, stirred into mayonnaise, brushed over a baguette, drizzled over a pizza, tomatoes and mozzarella, mixed into pasta, and the list goes on. Pesto freezes well, so if your basil is going to seed, make it into pesto. Freeze it, minus the cheese, in small containers to brighten winter soups, stews, and sauces. I didn't have enough basil, so used half parsley with good results. Adapted from the Fields of Green restaurant cookbook.

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the nuts evenly on an unlined baking sheet. When the oven is hot, transfer the nuts to the oven and toast until golden and fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. (We highly recommend setting a timer for this.) Transfer the toasted nuts to a bowl to cool slightly.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, add the toasted nuts, Parmesan, garlic and lemon juice and pulse into a coarse paste. 2. Add the greens and pulse until finely ground, then, with the food processor running, stream in the olive oil until the pesto is mostly smooth with a few flecks, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the consistency is too thick, thin by streaming in 1 or 2 tablespoons water.
  • To serve on pasta, place a few tablespoons pesto in a large bowl along with 3 cups cooked pasta (from about 4 ounces dried pasta) and a few tablespoons of the pasta water. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated and the sauce clings to the noodles. Divide between two bowls and serve with extra Parmesan, flaky salt and crushed red pepper flakes. Note: This pesto also makes a delicious topping or sauce for pizza, eggs, toast and just about anything else you can think of.

  • Place the nuts, cheese, greens, garlic, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor. Season with pepper to taste and a few pinches sea salt.
  • Pulse in quick on/off bursts until the mixture is finely chopped but not completely puréed, about 15 times. Scrape down the processor and pulse again to incorporate any larger leaves necessary.
  • In the feed tube in the top of the food processor, add the olive oil and combine, being careful not to over puree the mixture. Stir in more salt and pepper to taste if necessary. Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for about a week; add a thin layer of olive oil on top of the pesto to keep it from oxidizing.
