Ground Meat And Pasta With Greens Recipe

Preparation

1. Begin by boiling water in a large pot and cook the pasta (macaroni or rotini) according to the package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain and set aside. 2. While the pasta is cooking, heat a pan over medium heat. Add the cooking oil or butter, allowing it to melt. 3. Add the ground meat of your choice (beef or turkey) to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. 4. Once the meat is cooked, if you're using a cheese or cream-based sauce, add it to the pan and mix well with the meat until fully combined. If not using sauce, proceed to the next step. 5. Add the fresh greens (either spinach or arugula) to the meat and cook until the greens are wilted. 6. Combine the cooked pasta with the meat and greens mixture. Toss everything together until well combined. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish

7. Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh herbs like microgreens or sprouts.
