tonight's dinner

1 bunch dandelion greens, washed and sliced into strips
two-four servings capellini
garlic, minced (two large cloves)
crushed red pepper
olive oil
onion, chopped
sage (1/2 teaspoon, maybe?)
salt/pepper
1 can small white beans, drained
1 yellow squash, sliced into 1/4 to 1/8 inch slices, which are then quartered

set a large pot of salted water on to boil. when it reaches a boil, toss in the greens. boil for seven minutes, then drain (RESERVE THE WATER) and rinse in cold water. squeeze greens out, fluff with fingers or fork. return water to stove and bring back to a boil. add pasta to the boiling ex-greens water.

meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. toss in red pepper and onion. when onion is almost transluscent, add sage, garlic. when you think about it, add beans and some more oil... add the squash and cover the pot, turn the heat to low. add greens when the pasta is almost done. then drain the pasta and add to the big pot. season with salt and pepper.

this is yummy with a little parmesano and/or nutritional yeast. :9

Yum. I love dandelion greens.

I imagine this would be good with spinach too. Or black beans. Or swiss chard.

Mmmm. Swiss chard. And beets make pee pink!

beets don't affect the color of my pee, but they make it smell sweeter.

So where do you get the dandelion greens, from your yard or a store? And how big is a bunch?

i buy my dandelions (http://home.aol.com/keninga/dandeli2.htm) at the store, mostly because of the drought here. our greens in the yard are very tough and very bitter.

and boy won't eat food out of the yard, though he'll eat them from the store. he's paying, not me. ;)

a bunch of greens is anywhere from 1/2 to 1 pound. :) closer to a 1/2 lb these days.›
