Dandelion Greens with Spicy Fettuccine

Dandelion Greens with Spicy Fettuccine

Dandelion Greens with Spicy Fettuccine Greens is an excellent way to add greens to your diet, whether we are talking about dandelion greens, Swiss chard, spinach, mustard greens, chicory, or kale. We recommended using greens in your dishes at least a couple of times a week. Here’s a great recipe using Dandelion Greens in a pasta dish along with some sun-dried tomatoes and diced pancetta (optional).

Dandelion greens are more nutritionally dense than most other popular leafy greens.
