Beet Drunken Spaghetti

This is such a beautiful and hearty dish! By boiling the pasta in the wine, you add a ton of flavor before anything else is even added. For a non-alcohol version, just cook the pasta in water or broth.

1.5 L bottle of dry red wine-nothing too expensive, but good enough to drink!
​1 pound spaghetti
3-4 beets
3 TBSP olive oil
4 garlic cloves, grated or finely chopped
1 bunch of Swiss chard (OR BEET GREENS!), stemmed and chopped
​1 cup vegetable stock
2 TBSP butter
1/8 tsp nutmeg
6 oz grated parmesan cheese

Pour the wine into pasta pot and add enough water to reach the level that you would normally use to cook pasta. Bring to a boil over high heat, salt the water and cook pasta to al-dente. When you drain, set aside 1 cup of the cooking liquid to use later!
While the pasta is cooking, peel and grate the beets. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, cook for about a minute and add the grated beets. Season with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium high and cook the beets for 7-8b minutes, then add the greens, stirring to wilt evenly. Season with the nutmeg, then stir in the vegetable stock and simmer for 5 minutes. Then add the reserved cooking liquid and the butter, swirling and stirring to melt. Turn off the heat and add the cooked spaghetti, toss for 1 minute. Serve with parmesan on top!
