Time 37m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, halved and sliced
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
Kosher salt
12 cups torn winter greens, such as kale, chard, escarole or mustard greens (about 2 1/2 pounds)
12 ounces spaghetti
1/4 cup grated pecorino romano cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, cook the garlic in the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. (Be careful not to over-brown the garlic or it will taste bitter.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic chips to a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil into a small bowl to use as a dip for crusty bread, if desired. Add the onions and red pepper flakes to the oil in the pan; cook, stirring, until the onions are light brown, about 10 minutes. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt.
  • When the onions are almost done, add the greens to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, remove the greens, shaking off the excess water; add them to the skillet with the onions (set the pot of water aside). Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the cooking water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and reserve about 1 cup cooking water; drain the pasta and transfer to a serving bowl. Add the cheese and toss. Add the greens and some of the reserved pasta water and toss, adding more water as necessary to keep the pasta from clumping. Top with the garlic chips.

I'm not a big fan of greens, but this recipe changed my mind. The greens were cooked perfectly and they added a nice flavor to the dish.

This was a great way to use up some leftover chicken. I added some chopped chicken to the sauce and it was delicious.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to give it a little more flavor.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less red pepper flakes next time.

This recipe was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less olive oil next time.
