Pasta Verdure

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add fettuccine and greens; cook until pasta is al dente.

Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute olive oil and garlic on medium heat for 3 minutes.

Drain pasta and greens and add olive oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Optional: Add 4 cut-up anchovies to pasta and greens, and top with hot garlic oil.

cook's notes

Greens - the dark, leafy edible part of many vegetable plants - come in a range of flavors, from mild to spicy. Available year around, greens are at their best from late winter to early spring. When seasoned, they make the perfect match for pasta.
