Boil the water. Slice the onions and make the sauce. Make the garlic-walnuts and then sauté the greens. In between all of the cooking of the pasta dish, cut up the sweet potatoes and florets. Toss with olive oil and place in the oven to bake. Toss the pasta bake together and bake alongside. Serve altogether.
Garlic crusted walnuts are tossed in and on top of the pasta making this flavorful and easy enough to make dairy-free and even vegan. Increase the amount of walnuts to replace the cheese, if desired. Use whatever dark bitter greens you have available. We used the leafy broccoli rabe which gave it a delightful mustard flavor, but another green will substitute nicely. You may be tempted to make a double batch of the garlic walnuts as they are too much fun to nibble on as the pasta finishes cooking.
These three vegetables balance each other nicely and can be cooked altogether with a splash of olive oil, salt & pepper bringing out the caramel sweetness of each vegetable.
