This sounded yummy and very very easy!  Enjoy!

Serves 4

2 large bunches greens (use your favorites), rinsed and torn into bite-sized pieces 1 pound fettucine 1/2 cup olive oil 12 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cooked cannellini beans or red kidney beans 1 cup pecorino Romano, grated 1 teaspoon black pepper lemon wedges

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add greens and stir until they just begin to sofien, about a minute. Add pasta and cook until it is al dente, about 5-7 minutes.

In the meantime, gently warm olive oil in a skillet. Add garlic and saute. Add beans and simmer just until they're warmed through.

Drain pasta and greens into a colander. Place in large bowl and add oil and garlic mixture. Toss. Add Romano and black pepper and toss again.

Serve with extra bowl of Romano and pass lemon wedges at the table.

Variation: Soy or rice parmesan works well as a substitute for Romano here or in any recipe.
