Tomato Pesto, Beans, Greens and Pasta

1/2c sunflower seeds

1 can garbanzos

beet greens

dandelion greens

1-2t Hot smoky Hungarian paprika

10oz. water ± - adjust as needed

2 chopped tomatoes

4-6oz. sun dried tomato pesto

ground garlic, salt and fresh ground pepper

1-1/2c corn rice pasta cooked 

This is one of the best things I've made in a long time.  Ohhh, so good!  Dry toast the sunflower seeds in a big pan for 5-10 minutes.  The heat will bring out the oils, browning them very nicely.  Add the remaining ingredients except the pasta.  Stir, simmer until the water evaporates, greens are cooked and there is a remaining, nice sauciness.  Add the pasta, stir and serve.  This was just excellent!  You could also add some chopped Kalamata olives or capers for a bit more flavor.  Comfort food! . . .
