Simple Winter Pasta with Greens

SERVES: 4 

Ingredients

3 cups kale, spinach or arugula, chopped
½ cup of vegetable broth
2 shallots, chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
½ box of pasta
Handful of chopped toasted walnuts (to toast walnuts simply spread them on a toaster oven or baking sheet and bake at 300 for 8-10 minutes)

Instructions

Set a pot of water for pasta to boil.  Sauté shallots in olive oil for several minutes, until they start to brown around the edges and area a little crispy.  Add the garlic. After sautéing them together for a few minutes, add the broth and stir. Then add the chopped toasted walnuts. 

Cook the sauce until it thickens slightly then add the greens. Cover and remove from the heat while the pasta cooks.

Strain the pasta and turn the heat back on the sauce.  Mix in the pasta over medium-low heat a few spoonfulls at a time until the pasta has been added and the greens are wilted.  Serve immediately.
