Ingredients:
1 bunch beets, green tops removed and chopped, beets left whole
1 pound fusilli pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets in foil and roast until tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove and, when cool enough to handle, peel and cut into ½-inch cubes. Set aside.

2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil. Add pasta and cook until just al dente, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove, drain, and set aside.

3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add garlic and rosemary and cook 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add chopped beet greens and cook until just wilted, 30 to 60 seconds, stirring. Add reserved beets, salt, and red pepper; stir to mix.

4. Add cooked pasta, butte, and orange zest; cook until butter melts and mixture thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Method:

The first thing that you are going to do is to break apart your ground beef with a fork. You want to make sure that you break it up in nice sized pieces. Then you are going to add it to your crock pot. Now you are going to take the onion, garlic, tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, beef broth, fresh parsley, brown sugar, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper and add it to the crock pot as well. You will want to cover it and cook it for about 6 to 8 hours on low. Once it is done, you will serve it on your spaghetti.

This spaghetti will taste best served with a garlic or cheese bread. You will also find that it tastes extra good if you sprinkle a little bit of Parmesan cheese on the top of it. This is one meal that you can prepare knowing that everyone in your family will love. One of the things that you will appreciate the most about this meal is that it is very easy for you to prepare. All you have to do is to put the ingredients into your crock pot and you can go about your errands while your dinner cooks itself. This will leave you with plenty of free time to do anything else that you had to do and you won’t have to worry about babysitting the dinner.

2 1/2 pounds of sweet potatoes
2 large eggs, which have been lightly beaten with a fork
3 tbsp of unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp of butter to grease the pan with
2 tbsp of packed brown sugar
1 tsp of kosher salt
1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp of ground ginger
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground black pepper
1/4 cup of coarsely chopped pecans

Cooking instructions:

The first thing you will want to do is to make sure that your oven is preheated to 400 degrees. Now you will place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and pierce each one of them two or three times with a fork. Put them into the oven and bake them for about 50 minutes or until they are nice and tender. Take them out and set them aside to cool. Now you will want to turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Scoop the sweet potato out of their skins and place them into a medium bowl. Discard the skins into the trash. Mash the potatoes until they are smooth. Now add in the eggs, butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and pepper it to taste. Whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth. You will need to butter an 8 by 8-inch casserole dish. Take the sweet potato mixture and pour it into the pan and sprinkle the top with the coarsely chopped pecans. Bake the dish for about 40 minutes until it is a bit puffy. Take it out and serve it immediately.
