  • Prep your greens: Before cooking, thoroughly wash and remove any tough stems from the kale and Swiss chard. You can use a salad spinner to help dry them more quickly.
  • Cook your greens properly: For optimal flavor and texture, sauté the greens in a little bit of olive oil over medium heat until they are wilted but still slightly crunchy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of vegetables in your pasta dish. Roasted butternut squash, sautéed mushrooms, or fresh spinach are all great additions.
