Serves: 3-4 moderate portions
Vegetarian!
Ingredients
1/4 cup
extra virgin olive oil
1 clove
garlic, minced
1/2 cup
bread crumbs
1/2 tsp
red pepper flakes, or to taste
1/2 lb
mustard greens, cut into ribbons
salt & pepper to taste
fresh grated parmesan cheese
Step by Step Instructions
- Put 1/8 cup of olive oil into a large skillet over medium-low heat. When oil is warm, cook garlic just until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add bread crumbs and red pepper flakes and cook until bread crumbs are golden. This will take about five minutes or so. Remove and set aside
- Cook mustard greens in boiling water until soft, about five minutes. Drain well. Bittman tells you to cook the pasta in the same water, but I would not recommend doing this with the wild greens, since the bitterness remains in the water.
- Boil the pasta in salted water in another pot
- Meanwhile, add the remaining 1/8 cup of olive oil to a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the mustard greens and toss well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and bread crumb mixture and mix well.
- When the pasta is cooked, drain, reserving a little of the water. Toss pasta in the skillet with the mustard greens. If necessary, add a little of the pasta water. Adjust seasonings and serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
