There are several favorite recipes we dig into when the Fall Greens start to come in, this is one of the first because it is so simple and satisfying.
1. Choose your favorite type of pasta and prepare. We like to try different sizes/shapes and sometimes make our own, too!
2. Wash, trim and roughly chop 1/2 pound Mixed Greens (our produce is not washed and ready to use, you always must wash it before enjoying!).
3. Peel and trim 2-10 cloves Fresh Garlic (as much as you like!). We use a Garlic Press to crush the cloves or you can slice them thinly.
4. In a large skillet heat 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil on medium, add Garlic, salt and Pepper and Crushed Red Pepper if you like a little heat.
5. Add prepared Mixed Greens, stir to combine and cover. Turn heat off and allow to steam for 2-3minutes.
6. Combine Garlicky Greens with Pasta, add a little more Olive Oil if necessary for texture.
We like to top off the serving plates with a grating of Yellow Moon Cheese Company's "The Farm's Parm" Parmesan, yum! This make a great side dish or lunch entree.
