Tonight we decided to use up a bag of Braising Greens, which are a mixture of hardy greens such as kale, chard, collards, mustard, bok choy, radicchio, and turnip greens. We rinsed them off and chopped them up for a pasta dish. I started with a little EVOO in a pan with some garlic, chopped green onions and chives, and pine nuts. After a few minutes I added the Braising Greens.
Once the greens began to wilt, I added about 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes and some pasta sauce.
If you are interested, I used a pasta sauce from Trader Joe's.
I also used pasta from our CSA. This was a tomato basil pasta that was fresh when we got it, but we put it in the freezer the day we picked it up (it came only a few days before we left for our 2 week long trip at the end of May and we didn't have time to use it before we left). I could still tell that it was homemade because as I was boiling it, some of the basil came off and was floating in the water.

I always think about joining a CSA...but a lot of things rot in my fridge already as is...
That looks awesome! I didn't know CSAs did pasta and stuff too! We signed up for one when we moved here but we've been on the waiting list for two years. :( I'm pouty about the situation!
That's so cool that you got pasta from your CSA! I didn't know they did that. Your meal looks delicious!
