Escarole? I’m on a role! Any hearty greens will work for this pantry-friendly dish, though. The beans and pasta choices are equally flexible.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. uncooked whole wheat rotini
  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp. crushed red pepper
  • 1 (12 oz.) bag chopped escarole (or kale)
  • ¾ cup low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 (15 oz.) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup (1 oz.) shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook until garlic begins to brown, stirring constantly (45 seconds).
  3. Add escarole; cook until escarole begins to wilt (1 minute).
  4. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until escarole is tender and liquid nearly evaporates (5 minutes).
  5. Stir in pasta, beans, and salt. Top with cheese.
